Using Stuffit Deluxe, I took the BinHex'd version of Disinfectant 2.2 from
the Sumex archives and debinhex'd it. This, at least according to Stuffit,
worked fine. When I double-clicked on the self extracting archive, it gave
the archive error mentioned previously.

So, I then debinhex'd Compactor, also from the Sumex archives, and ran that.
From there I opened the Disinfectant 2.2 "sea" file, then extracted it from
within Compactor itself. This worked fine.

Hope this helps someone solve whatever this bug might be.
