            Description

            The file in question is prompting the user for a password. This doesn't appear to be the correct behavior. Further analysis is needed.

              Took a while to track this one down but the issue was actually due to how we decode hex strings. The user password hash for this document started off with the 4 byte encoded string <FEFF...> which cause our hext string class to treat the string as a 4 byte encoded string instead of 2 byte. I refactored the hexString class to have a raw method so we can get at the 2byte values. There are are many examples of when 4 bytes are valid, this might be just a one off but the spec in this case tells use it should be 2 bytes.
