CRC error not reported when unzipping a bad archive

Yesterday I found a dangerous bug. I tried to unzip an archive with FreeCommander 2009.2b and all 3 files seemed to be unzipped correctly. But then I tried the same thing with 7-zip and IZarc and both reported a CRC errror for the largest binary file. I double-checked the bad BIN file with a new BIN file unpacked from a good ZIP archive (sent to us by our customer lately) in a hex-editor HxD and there was 3 differences - changed bytes from 00 to 01. Probably a bad RAM chip caused that during zipping or sending the ZIP file by FTP.

I think this error should be corrected ASAP, because it can cause problems to many people working with FTP and ZIP files. I can send you a screenshot prooving the wrong behaviour. Send me a message/email if you want it.

Yes, I forgot... Big thank you for your great FreeCommander :-)

Hi,

could you send me such corrupted file or could you test the file with FreeCommander XE?
