NewZap 3.20 does indeed have the problem. If you are searching for either a
text string or a byte sequence that spans sectors (ie. NewZap sectors), it will
not be found. If you haven't had a problem yet, it means that you haven't
searched for anything that spanned sectors, or that you just didn't notice when
something wasn't found.
