Ok, glad you found it.

Please keep any problems you have coming. Mike has been a great help 
squashing jslib bugs.

One a side note, there has been progress reading binary files.

   http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170585

I have some more tweaks to make to the patch before full review. But 
there will be a new method available for reading binary streams.

   readBytes()

This will alow jslib consumers to read binary files.

I'll keep the list posted on progress.
