Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2006-01-25 19:44:52 UTC 
This issue also affects FC5
Comment 2 Ivana Varekova 2006-02-06 13:44:35 UTC 
fc5 and fc4 versions are fixed (unzip-5.52-2 and unzip-5.51-13.fc4).
Comment 3 Michal Jaegermann 2006-02-07 22:13:28 UTC 
What about various RHEL releases?  It seems to me that the bug is present in
all of these (and really the same fix).
Comment 4 Josh Bressers 2006-02-07 22:44:53 UTC 
Michal,

We are tracking the RHEL issue as bug 178960.  We have rated this issue as low,
which means we likely won't release an update for this package just for this fix
(we will wait for other more important issues).  If you have any concerns please
feel free to mail me.
