It is:

>unzip -l \Apps\Mercurial\library.zip
Archive:  /Apps/Mercurial/library.zip
warning [/Apps/Mercurial/library.zip]:  1871887 extra bytes at
beginning or within zipfile
  (attempting to process anyway)
  Length     Date   Time    Name

[etc]

Some zip tools don't like zipfiles with extra data at the start, but
it's perfectly valid according to the zip spec. Winzip doesn't seem
happy with it, but the command line zip utility is fine (as you see
above)
