The implementation of setComment(String comment) in java.util.zip classes
ZipEntry and ZipOutputStream was done without regard to what UTF8 encoding
means.

Only comment Strings which contain ANSI, or 7 bit, characters
can produce a one-to-one correspondence between comment.length() and
byte[].length, after UTF8 encoding, which is what the current implementation
assumes.
