zip vs 0-length files again

[Robin Becker]

Tim Peters posted stuff about winzip and .tgz files in the pas, but it
was alleged that .zip's were OK. I have a freeBSD 4.4 built zipfile with
7 length zero __init__.py files. At least one of these fails to be
extracted on a client's NT box. I am enquiring as to the version of
zip/winzip being used. With my version 8 under win2k this doesn't
happen. Can anyone recall more specific details of the problem?
