I haven't been paying 100% attention. Just how does it fail? What do you
mean by "corrupt"?

Does the process run to completion?

Are the output zip files reasonable in size?

Are the expanded files reasonable in size? If so where does the mismatch
start?

Is the problem always in the same place for the same input file?
