X-Face: Header Interpretation

Quoting Hokan from 29 May (a Wednesday in 2019) at 1421 hours...

My setup is a debian9, and uncompface works without that change for me.
I applied that tweak to my local script[12] - and still works equally well. 

If I had to guess, I'd think there is a debian-specific patch somewhere
which changes the behaviour. 

Certainly shows how these things should be better tested across
platforms)


[12] My script is somewhat tweaked - I use formail to get the headers
more reliably, and also save the resulting pbm to disk in parallel to
displaying it. But the header|icontopbm|viewer block is identical :)
