/* Check to make sure the local file header is correct */
	fseek(fp, file_offset, 0);
	l = PyMarshal_ReadLongFromFile(fp);
	if (l != 0x04034B50) {
		/* Bad: Local File Header */
		PyErr_Format(ZipImportError,
			     "bad local file header in %s",
			     archive);
		fclose(fp);


can anyone explain to me about zip file headers and why it would be different/incorrect and give me this error?
		return NULL;
