Summary: Error when using PyZipFile to create archive

Initial Comment:
I get the following trace back while using the PyZipFile class to create zip import files.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../fsmGenerate.py", line 125, in ?
    main()
  File "../fsmGenerate.py", line 121, in main
    generate(inFileName, outName, app, gui, schema, zip)
  File "../fsmGenerate.py", line 56, in generate
    outZip.write(name)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/zipfile.py", line 427, in write
    self.fp.write(zinfo.FileHeader())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/zipfile.py", line 167, in FileHeader
    fileHeader = '%s%s%s' % (header, self.filename, self.extra)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf0 in position 10: ordinal not in range(128)

This error occurs intermitently.  It seems to be related to the time.

Looking in file Lib/zipfile.py, it appears that the call to struct.pack() in method ZipInfo.FileHeader() is creating a string containing bytes with values > 0x7F.  I believe that these values are coming from local variable dostime in ZipInfo.FileHeader().

I'm using Python 2.3a2, built from source on Linux.

I can no longer reproduce this bug.  I'm the one who originally submitted this bug report. There must have been a bug in my original code.  The test I'm using now executes with no problems.
