Hotfix 920958 damages especially archives and photos

" Further more, the issue only occurs on files which containing
Hexadecimal codes."

If I have a look inside my files, all of them contain hexadecimal codes
:-)

It seems as if only non-compressible files with a (filesize modulo
4096) of about 3600 to 4095 became victims of the fatal bug. The list
of my damaged files contains mostly JPG-Files and archives. In detail
one 7z-files, eight exe-files (packed?), one bz2-file, five gz-files,
one tif-file, 116 .jpg-files and nine zip-files were partially
overwritten with the ßßßßßßß-sequence.

I cannot believe that the "raw" file on the disk is unharmed, as stated
by the microsoft employee above, for even Ubuntu Linux, when bootet
from CD at the same machine, read the same garbage out of the files as
Windows 2000 either with the patch deinstalled or installed.
