The current behavior of zipfile._EndRecData is to look in the last 4k of
data in a file if it appears it might have an archive comment; this
results in flagging proper ZIP files with comments longer than ~4074
bytes as "not a ZIP file."

I plan on posting a patch for this later, but figured this should be
documented in case I don't get around to it.
