I suggest the patch attached below should be applied, but am not brave
enough to do it without hearing your opinions.
Background:
Some implementation of jar produces a jar file whose MANIFEST.MF is broken.
For example, jar 0.92-gcc that comes with GCC of cygwin makes a MANIFEST.MF
which has a byte 0x00 at the end of the file. When we try to load a class
file from such a jar file, ClassNotFoundException is thrown.
IMHO, such jar implementation is to blame, but such bad jar files could
be used without problem until recently.
