Bug Description

On Ubuntu Hoary, File-Roller 2.10.1 crashes when it tries to extract files from
http://mural.uv.es/salblas/formularios/termo.zip, for example.

The file contained in the .zip seems to be a .doc whose name has the character
"á" (a with accent). If I extract it witk "unzip" (in the console) I obtain a
file with "invalid encoding", where the "á" is replaced by a "?". However, if I
replace the "?" by the "á", the file opens correctly in OpenOffice. I've also
tried to extract it with WipZip (Wine), and it woks perfectly (it extract the
.doc with the correct name without problems).

So, it seems that File-Roller has some problems at extracting files with
"strange" characters like á, é, í...

I'm attaching the backtrace generated by Bug Buddy.

make it into Hoary)

I don't feel we can backport the fixes to Hoary. Sorry.
