+ * @bug 8056934
+ * @summary Check ability to read zip files created by python zipfile
+ * implementation, which fails to write optional (but recommended) data
+ * descriptor signatures.  Repro scenario is a Java -> Python -> Java round trip:
+ * - ZipOutputStream creates zip file with DEFLATED entries and data
+ *   descriptors with optional signature "PK0x0708".
+ * - Python reads those entries, preserving the 0x08 flag byte
+ * - Python outputs those entries with data descriptors lacking the
+ *   optional signature.
+ * - ZipInputStream cannot handle the missing signature
+ *
+ * No way to adapt the technique in this test to get a ZIP64 zip file
+ * without data descriptors was found.
+ *
+ * @ignore This test has brittle dependencies on an external working python.
