Title: Re: Secret info in Sig file
You should try opening other files on your disk in a Hex editor (maybe some preference files to start with). I bet you’d find similar junk at the end of each.

That data has never _been_ in a signature file. It shouldn't be _in_ the
signature file. I don't know where it picked up the data. Sure, that data
has existed on my hard drive, somewhere... But man... That's screwy. Cut the
file off at the end of the signatures.

That's not it... I've done enough tricks to make sure the file is _just_
the file. I've checked the data fork, yada yada... What I pasted in is _in_
the file.
