I had given this a thought before changing it. The skip doesn't get 
called in a regular jar/zip entry content retrieval use case (which from 
what I can see is the most used one). So instead of allocating an 
additional 512 bytes, holding onto it till the stream is closed and 
never using it, for each entry of a zip whose content is fetched, I 
think it's better to allocate it only when needed in skip().
