I don't think many people are using the libjava code either. I can't
see how ZipFile could have worked between the merge of the classpath
version on 6/15, and my fixing of RandomAccessFile.skipBytes on 8/13.
(ZipFile.readFully was checking the return value of skipBytes,
which was wrong; the pre-merge version didn't check the return value.)
If no one complained about that for two months, perhaps that's why
they're not complaining about any problems now.
