Oops, sorry, should have taken a better look.

Segfault observed with UnZip-5.52 in gdb with "A" x 50000 on Linux-2.6
and OpenBSD-3.8, both on i386. Without gdb, Linux segfaults too but
OpenBSD just hangs (might be my choice of numbers or payload, but it's
pretty consistent that "A" x 32000 does nothing and "A" x 33000 hangs).

I did not investigate further, sorry for the bother!
