Re: New snapshot available which *may* fix unzip long filenames problem

I've created a new snapshot which incorporates Pierre's much appreciated
research into the unzip problem.

Thanks to Pierre and Igor for looking into things at this depth.

I'm rather torn between fixing build_fh_name and keeping the destructor.
The destructor is cleaner but slower and its in a part of the code that
gets called *a lot*.

If it works, I'll probably keep the destructor around for 1.5.8 and
revisit in some later cygwin version.

This seems to fix the problem for me. With the 2/17/04 snapshot cygwin1.dll I was able to successfully unzip a large (1.4Gb) .zip (with lots of long filenames in it) on which unzip had failed on the 1.5.7-1 cygwin1.dll.


Many thanks to Pierre and Igor for investigating this, and especially to Christopher for the fix in the snapshot. I (we, actually) appreciate it. Thank you.
