Bug Description

On zip archives of larger than 2 GB, 'zipinfo -h' reports a negative filesize for the archive. For instance (from http://www.us.archive.org/log_show.php?task_id=21042944):

[ PST: 2007-12-04 11:56:45 ] Executing: zipinfo -h NYTimes-Nov-Dec-1852_jp2.zip
Archive: NYTimes-Nov-Dec-1852_jp2.zip -2042782659 bytes 424 files

It may not matter for our purposes, as we use zipinfo only (so far as I know) to get the number of files in a zip archive, not their total size.

The zip development team responded quickly to a bug report with the following info:

    You need the not-quite-released-yet Zip 3.0 and UnZip 6.0.
    Pre-release ("BETA") source kits are available at:

        http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=118012

    Newer pre-release ("BETA") source kits should be coming along fairly
    soon, with the actual releases expected before the snow melts here.
