I believe it is plain[2]. From unrarppm.c from libclamav:

	Reset = (max_order & 0x20) ? 1 : 0;

and from model.cpp from official unrar:

	bool Reset=(MaxOrder & 0x20)!=0;

Also, this is now tested with well over 100,000 files with no false
reject. BTW, among all those test files (-m1 to -m5) I have yet to see a
valid stream use PPM in the first block. I start to think we can reject
all PPM. Do you know something to the contrary?
