Also, note that the following code *does* yield "nix-archive-1":

   (with-input-from-file "some-nar-file"
     (lambda ()
       (read-int (current-input-port))
       (read-string (current-input-port))))

So, if I remove the first 8 bytes of the file (which when read as an
integer is 1), things look good.  What's going on here?
