After latest gvim 9.1.1825 install (no announcement on list nor useful release 
notes other than GH vim/vim repo log) opening archives e.g zip with autoload 
script zip.vim displays three copies of zip archive header vim script comments 
followed by three copies of lists of files for selection:

" zip.vim version v34
" Browsing zipfile .../Downloads/xxhash.zip
" Select a file with cursor and press ENTER
" zip.vim version v34
" Browsing zipfile .../Downloads/xxhash.zip
" Select a file with cursor and press ENTER
" zip.vim version v34
" Browsing zipfile .../Downloads/xxhash.zip
" Select a file with cursor and press ENTER

xxhash/
...
xxhash/
...
xxhash/
...

similar issues with some other archive types I tried - not recorded as I was 
testing latest lesspipe update installed and trying to use gvim/gview/less.vim 
for comparisons and other work with various compressed archives and files.

Rolled back to previous release 9.1.1054 and issues went away.
