Hopefully this might save someone a headache when using functions to check for animated GIFs.
I have come across some some GIFs use the a different frame separator sequence, \x00\x21, instead of the official standard \x00\x2C. This seems to be happening with animated GIFs saved in Photoshop CS5, although I'm not quite sure if that's where the issue is originating from.
Anyway, I've been using the pattern:
"#\x00\x21\xF9\x04.{4}\x00(\x2C|\x21)#s"
which seems to cover all GIFs, hopefully without misinterpreting.
Cheers.
