Comment 2 for bug 1006754

This is an exact copy of the bug I mentioned in my report, I do not have
any added details. The reason for my report was that the bug was converted
to a question and then expired and should be still open.

I agree that priority is low and there are alternatives (ark).

I use this because I generate docx documents in php and when opened with
archive manager I can look under the hood: go to the file, right click,
open with Archive Manager and that is where I get the error message.
