MachO parser can't handle fat binaries
MachO files can be effectively glued together with a small header that indicates this has happened, Apple calls this a "fat" binary.

The current mach_o.ksy
doesn't know about this and also doesn't check the magic at the start, so just crashes when trying to read a fat binary.
I suppose the pull request #515 should add support for the "fat" format.
Ah! Thank you! I did search but didn't find that PR, I think I was spelling MachO / Mach-O differently :/
That PR does indeed look like what's needed. Any reason it wasn't merged, or just waiting review?

Just awaiting review.
Is there a Kaitai maintainer capable of reviewing that PR? I'm another potential user of it.
I can also do a review as an independent user (one who's intimately familiar with Mach-O), but I figured I'd hold off until someone from the project itself can chime in.
FWIW I've been using it for a while now and it seems to work fine.
