Just a wild guess -- might this unknown boolean be whether or not (1 meaning 
"not," I guess) to "run" the extracted file?  This is one part of the 
"standard" that is rather unclear (for example, what does "run" mean, 
exactly, and who does the running?), so one never knows where it might pop 
up, and it would make sense that real-world instances were "always" the 
same...

Thanks for all these investigations; wish I was able to provide more help 
right now, but I have very little time ATM.
