autodetection of excellon drill files not reliable

Description

The automatic loading of excellon drill files in the gerber viewer sometimes works, sometimes not. It depends on the specific *.drl file.

If the special command File-->open Excellon Drill File is used the file loads correct.

Steps to reproduce

  1. download+extract the gerber-files:production.zip
  2. start gerber viewer
  3. File-->Open autodetected files
  4. select all files in the downloaded directory
  5. note:
    • gerber jobfile is rejected
    • file "pumpe_600W-NPTH.drl" is also rejected, while the corresponding drill file for plated holes is correctly recognized
