[svn-r21015] Bug fix for Issue 2598 - In v1.6 library, there was EOA for the whole MULTI file saved in the
super block. We took it out in v1.8 library because it's meaningless for the MULTI file. v1.8 library saves the EOA for the metadata file, instead. But this caused some backward compatibility problem. v1.8 library couldn't open the file created with v1.6 library. I fixed the problem by checking the EOA value to detect the file created with v1.6 library. Tested on jam, koala, and heiwa.

didn't say which filter isn't registered. It's fixed now.
