writeZip() throws "Invalid LOC header (bad signature)" error

See original GitHub issue

This issue is occurring in version: 0.4.3 on Windows.

Initially noticed this occurred with jar files however I can reproduce it with other zips I had.

Examples: The kickstarter zip: http://www.99lime.com/downloads/ Apache tomcat zip: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-80.cgi

var AdmZip = require('adm-zip');
var jarZip = new AdmZip('WEB-INF\\lib\\snappy-java.jar');
jarZip.writeZip();

Produces

A:\myapp\node_modules\adm-zip\headers\entryHeader.js:113
                throw Utils.Errors.INVALID_LOC;
                                  ^
