<DIV><FONT color=#008080 size=2>All the files, after

</DIV><!--beginarticle--><PRE>To known how dangerous was the bug, have you an idea of the risk (%) to
found this problem in a real life zipfile?
Pehaps it can be useful to write a test program that try unzip (in memory)
all zipfile (and pehaps .gz also) of an hard disk, using zLib.
All reader of this list have probably hundreds of zipfile on hard disk. The
CRC32 value stored in the zipfile directory help known if there is a
problem</PRE></FONT></BODY></HTML>
