[issue10876] Zipfile sometimes considers a false password to be correct

Sorry to re-open this, but I consider it an important bug. Tried it in 3.1 also and it's still there. To sum up what's happening, zipfile sometimes considers a false password to be correct and proceeds with decrypting the file. Is there a workaround in this? Or even checking if a file has been decrypted correctly?
