Ah ! That's better explanation.
>From the OnHeaderEnd, set a flag to remember the file is not good and then 
use PostMessage with a cutom message. From the event handler, call Abort if 
OnRequestDone has not been called already. From the OnRequestDone event, 
check your flag to know if the file is OK or not and process accordingly. 
Ignore any error condition if the flag is set because Abort has been called.

It is always better to use PostMessage to defer any processing out of any 
event handler. At the time an custom message is handled, the component is 
out of his own work. If you put the processing in the event handler and this 
processing involve the component itself, then it is likely you'll have 
problems because when the event handler is returns, the component continue 
what it has started and which maybe the wrong thing if you changed the 
instructions ! Of course it the processing doesnt' involve the component 
itself, there is no problem.

You can turn "followRelocation" to false and handle the relocation yourself 
if this problem still happend with the change I outlined above.

No bug that I'm aware. Follow the outline I gave above.
