Hi KevinH, sorry if I gave the wrong impression that you must submit a patch before anyone will look at the bug. I thought you wanted to provide a patch for this. If you only want to report a bug that is ok, thanks for that.

I have confirmed your bug on the py3k branch. Attached is a patch that adds a test case to test_zipfile.py (as requested by others) and ports Kevin's patch to py3k. I have confirmed that his patch works: without it the test fails, and with it the test passes. Note: You have to create a file "README.zip" in the Lib/test directory, because svn diff cannot display added files.
