[Bug 1361740] [NEW] symlink error: File name too long

[Sören Brinkmann]

Public bug reported:

The unzip package show the behavior described in this Red Hat bugreport:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972427

The symptom is that under some circumstances, files become corrupted
during extraction. This seems to be a common problem when downloading
zipped snapshots of the Linux kernel from sites like github.com.
