>Description:
The ZipFile class does not read the zip file central 
directory correctly.
The result is, that classes cannot be loaded from
zip or jar files.  The class loader reports 
"erroneous magic number".
>How-To-Repeat:
Run the verifier (available from krab@gnu.org) on itself,

  gij verify.Tool --classpath=.:path/to/libgcj.zip

This will trigger the verifier to load class 
java.lang.String from the zip file, which will not work.
