Problems with zipnote writing to files


Can anyone here get recent versions of zipnote to work?

The following allows me to write out the comments and file names included in a zip file for editing

Code:
$ zipnote test.zip > testcomments.tmp
However, when I try to apply my edits back zipnote crashes. In fact it crashes even if I make no changes, e.g.

Code:
$ zipnote test.zip > testcomments.tmp
$ zipnote -w test.zip < testcomments.tmp 
zipnote error: Bad file descriptor
*** glibc detected *** zipnote: free(): corrupted unsorted chunks: 0x09ff0530 ***
*** glibc detected *** zipnote: malloc(): memory corruption: 0xb77d5008 ***
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 221: dl_open_worker: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args->nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT'
I have tested this with ZipNote 3.0 on 32-Bit Slackware 14.0 and MacOSX 10.8.5.

I subsequently reported this upstream and received a reply from Steven M. Schweda of the Info-ZIP development team. He confirmed that this was a known issue and was fixed in the Zip 3.1b beta release already. In the mean time he pointed out that I could patch zipnote.c to make this work in Zip 3.0.

Code:
--- ./zipnote.c.orig    2014-04-23 10:26:14.000000000 +0200
+++ ./zipnote.c 2014-04-23 10:27:27.000000000 +0200
@@ -661,7 +661,7 @@
     if ((r = zipcopy(z)) != ZE_OK)
       ziperr(r, "was copying an entry");
   }
-  fclose(x);
+  fclose(in_file);
 
   /* Write central directory and end of central directory with new comments */
   if ((c = zftello(y)) == (zoff_t)-1)    /* get start of central */
In the Slackware forum I shall request that they would consider patching this in -current.
