Aah, on my systems (ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i686-linux] and ruby 1.8.0
(2003-08-04) [i386-mswin32]) your example raises Errno::EINVAL which rubyzip
expects and handles.

I wonder if it is matz' intention that the ruby interpreter should mend such
inconsistencies between different operating systems. Otherwise I will add
another rescue-clause that handles Errno::EFBIG.

Cheers,

Thomas
