I'm glad it did the trick.

And that's a VERY good question...  Those files shouldn't be there, and it
suggests that the files were downloaded/transferred over a network, then
packaged into the zip.  Why?  (I don't know any other function that creates
these, as I've only ever seen them when downloading on a Windows machine. 
They're not valid filenames (to Windows), which is an additional annoyance.)

What I don't like about the look of it is that it has that kind of feel of a
"man in the middle" type of attack.  Not that this occurred, but it makes me
a little uncomfortable.  (Enough that I snapshotted my Vbox VM to test it
on, so that I can destroy it afterward.)

The maintainers might fill us in...
