Summary: vfs::zip Mount error on some zip files

Initial Comment:
Hello,
  
 I'm currently programming some Remote Admin stuff for 
the game "Call of Duty" with Tcl.
 For some of my features, I need to open files which are 
in .pk3 files.
 Pk3 files are the same as zip files (we can open it with 
winzip, winrar or others in the
same way and the structure is strictly the same)
 I have errors with somes of the pk3 files:
 - Nearly all the "official" pk3 delivered during the 
installation of the game itself
(pakx.pk3 and localized_x.pk3)
 - some of the custom pk3
 Most of the others don't cause the error...
  
 Example: 
  
 package require vfs::zip
  
 vfs::zip::Mount "E:/games/Call of 
Duty/awe_cod/w_awe_cod_v2.1_client.pk3" thePk3
  
 throw the error:
  
 unable to convert date-time string "2097-12-31 16:00:00"
  
 It seems to be some sort of offset error during the date 
search in the module zipvfs.tcl
  
 The file (w_awe_cod_v2.1_client.pk3) of the example 
can be found in the zip file available
here: http://www.awemod.com/mods/awe_v2.12.zip
 My operating system is Windows 2000 SP 4
 My Tcl/Tk distribution is ActiveState ActiveTcl 8.4.11.1 
  
 Best regards.
  
 PS: I hope that you could understand me as English is 
not my native language...

That zip file is unfortunately no longer available.  Can you please post
it again, or attach it to this bug report?

2097 is far out of sight of Unix/Windows/Mac date range.
Could this be the outcome of a Y2K bug, where (19)97 was 
intended, and somewhere just 2000 was added to the two-
digit-year?
