Quoth Bspec, "This field specifies the size of this entire data
structure excluding this header." Okay.

I just don't get the whole sequence block u32 size thing, because the
vbt header and bdb header still have u16, and they're supposed to cover
the entire vbt and all bdb data blocks. And this is what we check
anyway.
