There is no reason to tail-pad fitImage with external data to 4-bytes, while fitImage without external data does not have any such padding and is often unaligned. DT spec also does not mandate any such padding.
Moreover, the tail-pad fills the last few bytes with uninitialized data, which could lead to a potential information leak.
