binascii_b2a_base64(): We didn't allocate enough buffer space for very
short inputs (e.g., a 1-byte input can produce a 5-byte output, but we
only allocated 2 bytes). I expect that malloc overheads absorbed the
overrun in practice, but computing a correct upper bound is a very simple
change.
This way, when a socket object is deleted after the socket module has
already been zapped by module shutdown, we don't get annoying warnings
about exceptions in __del__ methods.

If no external zip-utility is found, the archive is created by the

possible the problem has been fixed. We shouldn't have to be working
around editor bugs anyway.
If it crops up again, I'll report it (again) to the XEmacs crowd.
