using ZipFile library with Python 2.6 or an earlier version creates
archived files that are not compatible with windows compress or Winzip.
Other programs like 7-Zip will not have a problem with the format. 

Bug Description:
if it is attempted to create an archive with more than 65535 (e.g 2^16 +
10)  files winzip or windows compress will show only what is above 65535
(in this case 9 file) 

The attached script tries to create an archive with 2^16 + 1 files and
compress or winzip will show an empty archive.
