Description

Sample: [resources-unusual.zip](https://github.com/avast/retdec/files/5200108/resources-unusual.zip)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with retdec-fileinfo.exe and the linked resources-unusual.zip sample, then inspect the resource-parsing path used by fileinfo. Compare the displayed output with the sample's twisted resources; done means corrupt resources are represented correctly without breaking normal resource reporting.
