Sebb commented on COMPRESS-181:
-------------------------------
I agree - it looks like the first byte was set to null accidentally, or
possibly the intention was to invalidate the stamp.
bq. In any case the resulting timestamp is not what it used to be, so using any
other timestamp would be as valid as trying to parse the rest.
Sorry, I don't follow.
I'm suggesting that using the corrupted timestamp is worse than ignoring it by
treating it as all nulls.
