Not strange, before I turned MS loose on the file I tried opening it with
winzip, power archiver, winrar, pkzip and IZArc. IZArc was able to list the
full contents, none of the others were able to open it. If the new
Archive::Zip was able to list the contents but errored out when extracting
MS will use the list to create 0 length files with the name of the archive
members and your filename rules would cause the result you saw in your
message.
