Thanks for responding.

To give unzip a short read, have it decompress data that comes in
through a pipe.

cat myfile.zip | unzip -

This should quickly reproduce the problem.  As a worst case scenario,
let unzip only have one byte at a time.

cat myfile.zip | dd bs=1 | unzip -

The zipfile you're decompressing should have multiple files in it.
Only the first file will work.  The remaining files should fail with
an error.
