I believe I found the source of the problem.  The problem is in the
createCentralFileHeader() method on line 1261 of
org/apache/tools/zip/ZipOutputStream.java:

        int commentStart = extraStart + commentLen;

I think it should be:

        int commentStart = extraStart + extra.length;

When I made the change in the 1.9.6 source bundle and built from source,
I no longer got the error and the zip file created verifies with unzip
and 7zip.

It appears that Ant's core code never calls ZipEntry.setComment(), hence
this bug was overlooked.

Since the project I am on requires the ability to work with official
releases of Ant, I will comment out the setComment() call in the project
code; comments are not needed for our application to function.

Hopefully, the above change can be incorporated into the Ant codebase.
