The patch seems ok (at first sight, but then again, "going fast" is
dangerous, as is shown below).

It seems like this code is a typical example of a too hasty copy paste
process (as indicated in the .hpp file), which seemed to have worked
out by accident for the cards we used until now. The code in checkBit
is merely a copy of the readSequence() code in the DIn file. This
proves that either
- the author was drunk when copying this code
- the author is a complete moron
[I do hope the author is not a non-alcoholic]

(Shame on)
The code copier ("author" would be to much of a compliment in this case: -)
