Yep.  The problem is that KAFFEH doesn't open the zip file with
O_BINARY, so it finds some ^Z at some point and takes it as an EOF.
I've got a patch for some file within kaffe/kaffeh that fixes this
problem, but I won't be able to post it before Jan 4 :-(

The fix was to replace the pointer to open in the I/O interface with
another function that would call open with mode|O_BINARY.
