This fix will allow zip to create an archive with very long filenames.

I'm also changing the type of len from a signed int to size_t to prevent
trouble in the future.

Does the fix apply?
Shall I make patchinfo files?

CAN-2004-1010 

The patch applies and compiles both on SLES8 and SLES9.
Please provide patchinfos.

For testing it I would like to have a way to create a directory with 256
characters in bash. But regardless of the file system (reiser, ext2 or ext3),
mkdir won't let me because the "file name is too long".

What's the trick ? Or I have to use C for that ?

I used something like:

DIRNAME=$(perl -e ' print "a" x 256 ; ')
moonraker:~ # mkdir $DIRNAME
mkdir: cannot create directory
`aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa':
File name too long

A file name can be max 255 characters but a path can have max 4096 characters.   
Try this: 
 
perl -e '$i=10;while($i){$fn="x"x255;mkdir $fn; chdir$fn;--$i}' 

Got it ;)

Please provide patchinfos.

Fixed and commited to all of is_maintained and is_maintained -b (including
patchinfos).

Hmm, the patch contains a malloc but no free. Looks like a memory leak.
Please fix.

Sorry, for the trouble my absence is causing these days.
If not already done, I'm going to start to work on it at 14:00 today.

Reworked the patch. Starting to re-commit at 16:00 CET.
