+"""--skip-zeroes must test the block actually being hashed, not always the
+first block of the buffer.

+Regression test for the bug fixed upstream in markfasheh/duperemove#405, where
+is_block_zeroed() was run on `buffer->buf + buffer->dl_offset` (always block 0)
+instead of block #i. That made --skip-zeroes either skip every block or skip
+none, depending only on whether the first block happened to be zero.
