can't zip large files 2gb >

[David Banning]

I am attempting to zip large files that are 2GB - 3GB.

uname -a;

FreeBSD 3s1.com 4.11-STABLE FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE #7

I have tried gzip, bzip2 from the ports and rzip.

All give no errors on zipping, but will not unzip, siting
CRC errors.

Is there a maximum file size for zipping? Is my system too old?
Maybe a file or library that all zip programs depend on that is
corrupt?
