Is calling a .zip file a dir a random thing in Euphoria?
No. It only seems to happen for directory names that end with ".zip".
I believe this is actually a Windoze bug.

Note In rare cases or on a heavily loaded system, file attribute information on NTFS file systems may not be current at the time this function is called. To be assured of getting the current NTFS file system file attributes, call the GetFileInformationByHandle function.

That was a good find, jim. I have complained for years about the filesystem getting flakey when busy, it's about time Microsoft admitted there is a problem (which they aren't going to fix).
