Subject: rubyzip problem with local header magic

Hi,

I was using the rubyzip library (v0.5.12 on OS X 10.4) to read some  
zips created by Java's ZipOutputStream (Java 1.5) classes.

The zip can be completely read by every tool out there, except  
rubyzip. rubyzip reads the first zip_entry just fine, but then raises  
an error with the message "local header magic not found."

So, it looks like it cannot distinguish the local header magic number  
used by the Java classes. I notice it can read zips with multiple  
entries created by its own ZipOutputStream. I also noticed that the  
local header magic number is different than the one that rubyzip uses  
for subsequent entries

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Bob Evans
