The earlier code had three flaws: 1. The case of an unknown-sized element inside a finite-sized element (which is against the specifications) was not caught. 2. The error message wasn't helpful: It compared the length of the child with the offset of the end of the parent and claimed that the first exceeds the latter, although that is not necessarily true. 3. Unknown-sized elements that are not parsed can't be skipped. Given that according to the Matroska specifications only the segment and the clusters can be of unknown-size, this is handled by not allowing any other units to have infinite size whereas the earlier code would seek back by 1 byte upon encountering an infinite-size element that ought to be skipped.
