Bug Description
When using file-roller from the command-line (entered in lxterm on Lubuntu 12.10) to extract a '.zip' archive to a specified directory, it crashes.
The command used was as follows:
file-roller --extract-
The command was executed with /home/aere/Test as the current directory, and AMK-etc.zip was the only file in that directory.
The intent was to extract the files contained in the archive into the same folder the archive was in.
Instead, it crashed, generating a core dump.
I can do what I was trying to do, successfully, on Ubuntu 12.04, and Ubuntu-Studio 12.04. I no longer have a Lubuntu 12.04 system (I have upgraded them all to 12.10).
If I extract the same archive to the same directory, using the file-roller GUI, it has no problem. The problem appears to be specific to using the command-line interface. Also, the command-line usage will work if the following command is used:
file-roller -h AMK-etc.zip
Unfortunately, that will not work for me, because it creates a folder called AMK-etc, and extracts the files into that new folder, rather than putting the files in the same folder as the archive.
I tried other variations of the command line to accomplish what I needed, but all of them caused a crash.
The version of file-roller is: 3.6.1.1-0ubuntu1
I expected it to extract the files contained in the archive into the same folder the archive was in.
Instead of that, it crashed.

I reproduced the problem on Ubuntu 12.10, so the problem is not specific to Lubuntu.
Since it works on Ubuntu 12.04, it appears to be specific to the 12.10 release.
