[Esa-l] Oops: buglet in 1.141

The ZIP scanner in 1.141 doesn't anchor it's test on the end of the
filename, (ah the perils of cut-n-paste programming and inadequate
test sets...) thus a zip containing "fnord.exe.safe-ext" would be
trapped by a filespec of "*.exe" when it shouldn't be.
This patch fixes the problem.
1) save the patch to the same directory as the scanner
2) back up the scanner: cp -vp html-trap.procmail html-trap.141
3) apply the patch : patch < zipscan141.patch
On the bright side, this fails paranoid rather then failing insecure.
Alternative to the patch: put a $ on the end of all your
ZIPPED_EXECUTABLES filespecs. (But you'll have to undo that when 1.142
is installed.)
