statefile format
The chunks in the statefile are aligned to 4 Byte boundary. So far - so good. But if a chunk is at this boundary already, 4 extra unnecessary bytes are added.
From statefile.cpp: len2 = 4 - (len & 3). Basically 4 minus 0 then... Next line if (len2)is totally useless as far as my non existing C coder skills teach me.  Because len2 is always in the range of 1 to 4 but never zero, so the padding function is always triggered. Should be more like if len2 != 4I guess... |

Yeah, I know that, years and years ago.. There is not much to do than leave it that way because it would break compatibility. (Perhaps some comment might be good idea..)
