So I created a 4.86GB zip file using zip command on our server (zip -r). The file was created without error. However, using the unzip -l command to get a file listing of the resulting zip gave me the same "extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile" error. As it's giving me this error based on a zip file created by the same set of commands, I am beginning to think that, similar to PHP unarchiving tools, unzip (at least on a Mac) cannot handle files over 2GB either. Ken, have you or has anyone else experienced something similar on a Windows or Ubuntu server? Or perhaps there's something amiss with our Lion server.
