I tried the test program with svn head and I get:
opsy. gij Provoke
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: Not a valid zip file
 at java.util.zip.ZipFile.checkZipFile(ZipFile.java:197)
 at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:136)
 at Provoke.main(Provoke.java:8)
This seems more reasonable offhand, but in cases like this I
ordinarily would test against the JDK as well (however I don't have it
installed atm...)
