Can you provide the APK file that causes this error?

@MrIkso I dislike implement something just using apktool source as base. I had several cases where the code in apktool for parsing was wrong.

I just had a discussion with Connor the author of apktool on the correct way to parse the overlay chunk, therefore I prefer having a real example to make sure the code really works on real-world examples.

But now as I have found an example the fix is just a PR away...
