A quick research showed that there were indeed changes in zip format, not supported by WinXP Explorer but supported in Vista. ZIP64 is one of these. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_%28file_format%29#Structure)
So, this probably is just WinXP showing its age.

When Explorer of WinXP opens a zip created by fossil zip export, it shows a zero-sized file for every subfolder in the zip. Explorer of Win7 does not have this problem, and neither does 7z. However, would it be possible to fix this annoyance for remaining XP users? Fixing it would probably be very simple, if we knew what was wrong. Probably there is something in the file header that Fossil generates that WinXP Explorer does not like or is misinterpreting. But what exactly is that something? Can you do some detective work to try to figure out what it is about Fossil-generated ZIP archives that WinXP explorer does not like?
