... which is why I said given proper input. ;-)
This was and is a bug. Hopefully a fully squashed one. It comes from some Kindle tools putting incorrect information inside headers whereas other tools do not. The concept of needing a fallback when the required information could not be found was present in the software but was never needed before and therefore never tested and turned out to be rubbish.

Using my previous example, if a sunspot causes a disruption of data flow during wireless transmission of a file from Amazon to my Kindle device, and that file is then unpacked, this is not a bug, but an anomaly, caused by a completely random event that cannot be replicated.

No, it is just a bug in the tcip packet checksum and error detection code of the underlying operating system. ;-)
Take care,
