   data_block returned -25: Unsupported ZIP compression method (6: imploded))   
   extracting /sbbs/data/file/0001.rep   
      
      
   I have confirmed that the REP packets are NOT imploded.  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.
