Issue 403: Buffer underflow parsing 'ar' header
    
    While pruning trailing text from ar filenames, we did not
    check for an empty filename.  This results in reading the byte
    before the filename on the stack.
    
    While here, change a number of ar format issues from WARN to FATAL.
    It's better to abort on a damaged file than risk reading garbage.
    No doubt, this will require additional tuning in the future.
