I'm maintaining some old code, and came across an instance where a
program-described file has a key defined incorrectly, because it
specifies a KEYLOC value different from where the key data really is.

But when testing it, chains always seem to work fine, same as when the
correct start position is specified. I kept trying different KEYLOC
values, including some that are not even anywhere near the actual key
data, and even tried not including a KEYLOC at all, and the program
always worked the same.

I am wondering how that is possible. I was really expecting the chains
to be horribly wrong unless KEYLOC was specified correctly, but
somehow it's never a problem. KEYLOC seems to have literally no effect
whatsoever.

I know this isn't much information to go on, but I don't know what is
relevant, so I don't know what else to provide.
