That's odd. The line that is throwing an exception is [this](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-file/blob/082897a66c8410b6b343083146307275d530c88b/lib/filewatch/read_mode/handlers/read_zip_file.rb#L26). The readline method of a java.io.BufferedReader does not take an argument, so I would expect that exception. However, it works just fine for me.
