Hmm, well, don't expect too much.  It's a "gets me by for now" type of
thing, but I doubt it's the right solution.

The algorithmic change I made was: if the calculated position is over
90% of the way through (arbitrarily picked to represent "close to the
end but not at the end"), then start from the middle of the file instead
and use the normal correction steps to arrive at the right position.

It does seem to work, but it's pretty yucky.  Hopefully someone with
more knowledge of the code can make something a little nicer.
