latest archive includes folders and files with the same name, which prevents extraction

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. on vista
2. download the .zip
3. try to extract all

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to extract the files.  Instead, get a dialog saying "There is 
already a file with the same name as the folder you specified.  Specify a 
different name."  If you look inside the zip file, you can see that for 
every folder, there's a file with the same name.  Result:  can't extract.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vista
This is the latest (Nov 15 2008) .zip file.

Please provide any additional information below.
Attached screen shot of explorer shows the duplicates in top level 
directory; other directories in the hierarchy are all the same.

Note that above I was trying to use Vista's native explorer to extract.  I 
tried to 
use gunzip (from a cygwin shell) and got a similar error.  I downloaded winzip 
and I 
can extract fine with that, so I'm guessing the latest version of winzip is 
doing 
something to funny knock out their free competition.

One more note:  if I wget the .zip on a unix box, and use standard unix unzip 
(not 
gnu gunzip), I can extract.  So its Vista Explorer and gunzip that have 
problems, 
but winzip 12 and unix unzip work fine.

What folders are replicated?

Is vista maintaining directories when it uncompresses it?
