I am using -e0 so the       are STORED. PKZIP -v confirms this.              Checking my data dir shows that this only started happening yesterday after the       upgrade from 3.20a to 3.21, while the version of zip being used to compress the       packets and also to decompress have not changed.              Every packet uploaded since the "upgrade" has been marked bad.              $$       ---        þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTP        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 317 400 426 428 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
