Added regression test for SF tracker bug #403871: AttributeError in
ZipFile.__del__() when there was an IOError opening the underlying file in ZipFile.__init__(). This is an odd test: since the exception is in the __del__() method, it is not propogated. This test will trigger it but regrtest.py does not detect the failure (not sure why); we are dependent on it actually being noticed by a user to get a new bug report if it ever fails. ;-( On the other hand, this makes sure that code gets exercised, so a failure could be noticed!
