Jim,

   as you know, there are too much software which could make zip 
archives. I don't know how attached archives were created exactly. So, 
if you try to re-zip these files with password you probably don't get 
exact the same byte sequence as original files. Anyway, if you pass the 
original byte sequence to your function, you easily could find the errors.

I've made 3 things:
1) the main error is the line
	whave += dist;
which should be
	whave += len;
It's evident, isn't it? Future.zip shows this bug.

2) the 2nd level codes are not present neither in distfix nor in lenfix. 
It can be checked easily. So, I remove the code with 2nd level codes.

3) end-of-block, however, could occur in first 24 bytes. So, to 
distinguish the right and wrong sequence, I add the code:
	if (left == 0) return 1;
	else return 0;

9bytes.zip is the sample with end-of-block marker at the first bytes.
