Dear Maintainer,

I was testing the program and selected a single file to compress in two
different ways, one with the default (2) compression and one with the small (3)
compression. I copied both of these two .zpaq output files to a new
subdirectory, changed to that directory, and entered:

$ zp xe *

The output was normal, although it showed only one file being extracted:

Reading from archive test3.zpaq
test.pdf 20971520 -> test2.zpaq Checksum OK
1 file(s) extracted

This seems to have been interpreted equivalently to "zp xe test3.zpaq
test2.zpaq", and thus test2.zpaq was made the target for the output of the
extraction. This is my assumption based on what I saw the program do. The
destination "archive" file now matches the MD5sum of the original, uncompressed
file. The original contents of test2.zpaq seem to be completely gone.

This can also be reproduced with the same arragement of files even without
using the "e" flag on my system, merely "zp x *".

Many thanks to the developers and maintainers of this and other excellent
software, you are absolute treasures and doing wonderful work for our world and
the future.
