I've been using the --override-chars-to-quote '' switch to avoid the  
"too long file name error", and both these files show as zero size.   
I looked at them with a hex editor to confirm this.

This is a Korean Read Me file, so I assume the characters in the file  
name are Korean.  I hadn't realized it, but the "Read Before You  
Install iTunes" file is actually an application, with a huge number  
of Read Me files embedded in it, each in a different language.

I'll try the patch tonight.  I only have a few free minutes this  
morning.
