Research direction

Start by reproducing the overflow while reading the reported DFS2 file with the latest mikeio version, using the attached error and screenshot as the initial reference. Trace the DFS2-reading entry point and identify the integer conversion that fails; done means the file reads without the reported OverflowError and a regression check covers the case.
