Hi there,
Not knowing if this bug has been fixed, or is a bug at all - maybe it's
a feature born from poor method specification.
Nevertheless, invoking "ZipFile.entries()" on a ZipFile-instance
representing a corrupt zip-file (any file not being a valid zip-file),
returns null, whereas I would expect an empty enumeration instead...
This is with my ancient 3.4.5 libgcj, however searching bugzilla didn't
reveal an existing report for this (could be a result from merging the
bug-database between Classpath and GCJ?!)
libgcj has had *many* bug fixes since 3.4, I would suggest running
against the current svn trunk (or 4.2 when it branches) to see if this
has been fixed.
