Thank you for reporting and for your fix. You patch is 100% valid and
should be applied.

But the real problem was elsewhere, as the Segment Info block is 
mandatory the parser assumes it will be present and it always keeps the
first segment found.

The patch I've sent should prevent that anyway with a more explicit
error.

Good work!
