I had ZIP native code related crashes in the past. I suspected they all
have been due to memory pressure (malloc returning null). But I
expected that to be fixed meanwhile? I mean its not impossible to have
robust C code, or?

Anyway, having said that - is there a performance comparision? What was
the reason for that native part in the first place?
