Thank you for the bug report. Indeed I was able to repeat the behavior
reported downloading the file from one of these mirrors however I
downloaded the file from another mirror (a Brazilian mirror) and this
file is ok, so isn't a packing issue instead is a web issue and the
bug system not handles this kind of problem. I am writing to
webmaster@mysql.com relating this issue. Thanks.
