Are you sure about that? If it is provoking exceptions when they are
enabled, that means the CPU is executing undefined instructions when those
exceptions are disabled. Given that this is (un)packing zip archives, the
results could be subtly but fatally broken.

Just a heads-up; some people might not be aware of the true meaning of those
pesky exceptions and might assume that disabling them means the problem is
fixed :) But you may already know all that.

Ta,
