I was able to reproduce this with 1.4.1 now.
The problem is that Java (pre-1.4.2) picks up the wrong zlib functions
when something brings in libz before Java loads its libzip.
You should be able to work-around the problem by starting eclipse like
this:
% LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/lib/i386/client LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/lib/i386/libzip.so eclipse
Alternatively you could upgrade to 1.4.2-rc1 (see
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/java2-status/jdk1.4-status.html),
the functions have been internalized in that version and the problem
should not occur anymore.
