Bug or feature?

[Arpad Biro]

Hi,

A large VFS timeout can cause strange behaviour in archive file
handling:
after replacing an archive file with another one of the same name but
different
contents, MC 4.6.0 "remembers" the contents of the previous archive for
a while.

To see what I mean:

  >test1
  zip test.zip test1

Now press Enter on test.zip: it shows "test1".
Exit from the archive (press Enter) and type:

  >test2
  rm test.zip
  zip test.zip test1 test2

Press Enter again on test.zip. MC still thinks the archive has 1 file
in it.

A good workaround is to reduce the "Timeout for freeing VFSs" value.
So, is this a bug or a feature? Should it remain like this?
