Thank you kindly, dslake, for a patch that:

The region dearchive module assumes extra null bytes will be appended 
to the end of every OAR file. This may be due to the block nature of 
storage but it seems like an unsafe assumption. When streaming region 
archives over a network or through a memory stream, no additional null 
bytes are added to the end and this an exception.
