[New-bugs-announce] [issue26293] Embedded zipfile fields dependent on absolute position

New submission from spoo:
Example:
from zipfile import ZipFile
with open('a.zipp', 'wb') as base:
base.write(b'old\n')
with ZipFile(base, 'a') as myzip:
myzip.write('eggs.txt')
If the embedded zip portion of the file is extracted (first four bytes deleted), some fields will be incorrect in the resultant file - commenting out line 3 produces a file that can serve as a comparison. These differences cause issues opening with some zip library implementations.
My best guess is that this is related to this line: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/zipfile.py#L1459
