Comments
EVALUATION Given no further information, not reproducible. The errno=5 (I/O error) suggests that perhaps the jar file was changed after having been previously opened.

EVALUATION This report is reminiscent of others noted in the See Also list. The Comments note si_errno=5, of which libzip is not very tolerant. In particular, changing the jar file while the JVM has it open is not supported (see 4425695, 5086611, 6390352). The error is more frequently observed in Zip_GetEntry (see 6467599, 6571563). If the crash is readily reproducible, please provide the testcase as an attachment. Otherwise, we will close this as a duplicate of one of the See Also bugs.
