Why do you think that this database is invalid?  AFAICS it follows 
your description of database format (and agrees with comment and code
in daase.lisp.pamphlet).  More precisely: 30 gives you file offset of
the key-value table (I wrote that you need to add whitespace padding).
The timestamp is bogus, but this should not hurt.  Note that
standard constructors do not need extra fields, so the first part
which appears in typical databese is ommited.  Also, the database is
uncompressed (for better readability).

Am I missing something?
