---Description---
Win xp default zip manager can't handle long file names properly...

---Bug Demonstration---
Create a new file with very long file name... in your c: [ say:
1.111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
11111111111111111111111111111 ] 

[or, download]   http://www.geocities.com/visitbipin/zip_long.zip

Windows xp will easily allow you to create that file, now zip the file [ 
above mentioned ie 1.11111111111111111111* ] using winxp default zip 
manager, [say, the new file created is 1.zip]
But strangely, if you open the file [1.zip] with windows explorer [ie 
view it's content] You can neither see a file name nor its extension in 
the archive but simply its icon only!

Moreover, windows xp doesn't allow you to delete the long file created in 
the above example, through GUI mode [...have to use command prompt] and 
end up with an error Can't delete 1 : The folder is empty. [actually its 
a file!]

before, microsoft discarded this report as a non-security issue.
