The -bad- version does not do this.
Argh! I surely introduced this bug while fixing CAN-2005-2475. The version currently in stable (and also testing and unstable) is supposed to contain a fix for CAN-2005-2475, backported from the upcoming unzip-5.53. If the backporting is correct, it would mean the prerelease of 5.53 is messed up. I'll contact the authors. Thanks a lot for reporting this and sorry for the inconvenience. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
