Re: bug in ZipInputStream

I think I am the latest victim of the notorious java.util.zip.ZipInputStream

surely taking over the world.

I'm talking about the latest and the greatest release candidate
gcj-3.2-20021210-1.tar.gz; and it's still in there!

I was trying to read from the executable's core with Anthony Green's "core
protocol" stuff; which works brilliantly by the way, and shove the
inputstream received from the core into a ZipInputStream. Believe it or not,
the bytecount is there, and all is well for several entries, until I do
getNextEntry() on a non-directory ZipEntry, and then it all flies in my
face. I tried remediate by shoving in jazzlib; in vain, it complains about
UTF-8 stuff. It's dead too in gcj.
There was a bug (PR 8234), but Tom Tromey checked in a fix for that.
If you have some new bug, please send in a proper bug report, with a
repeatable complete test case.  Look at PR 8234, which allowed Tom
to finally track down a bug, after lots of past but useless complaints.
