JDK7's java.util.zip breakage with very large files

[Xueming Shen]

There is difference between doing

"jar xvf data.jar data"

and

"jar xvf data.jar"

If the previous one works, it means the zip file should have
the healthy end table there (it goes down to end->cen->
loc->data file). The later goes from the sequential looking
up from the beginning, so it only looks into the "loc" table,
it may extract the file out even there is no cen and end tables.

I thought you just did "java xvf data.jar" in your previous
email.
