Found the mis-check. Errors were being raised when checksums were being 
checked and then not handled. For now I've adjusted it so that neither 
checksum routine can raise an error (they clean up any errors they 
encounter). And if the error matters, then it can show up when the wad 
file is being actively processed.

For instance, if you feed AM files from M-infinity, then it will pop up 
a dialog stating that the map or other files couldn't be read with an 
error id of 4. The error code for UNKNOWN_WAD_VERSION. Which, for now, 
is a perfectly acceptable response to being passed M-infinity files.
