Ok, new version to fix a very nasty bug :

  be_long_cluster =
(swabHI(le_short_fat[x+1])<<16)|swabHI(le_short_fat[x+0]);

the trouble is swabHI waits for a int parameter so we get an
undesirable signed extension.

to fix it use explicit unsigned extension :

  be_long_cluster =
(swabHI(le_short_fat[x+1])<<16)|((unsigned
short)swabHI(le_short_fat[x+0]));

I hope it is the only possible cause of problem of "invalid
FAT".

NOTE : le = little endian,
       be = big endian;
       swab = swap byte;
       SI = single integer (32-bit, gcc convention)
       HI = half integer (16-bit, gcc convention)
       QI = quarter integer (8-bit, gcc convention)

That's all, folks !
