Subject: Re: Pointer misuse unziping files with busybox

Hello,

As an additional addendum, bugs are sometimes hard to quantify in
terms of what vernacular to use. From the written description this
would be termed as an "out-of-bounds read" or "read access violation".
(I stopped and read because I was curious what weird thing was
happening with a pointer)
