Actually if the cygwin version of zip is based off of
info-zip then it is a known limitation of that library.  It
has a theoretical limit of 4GB for the zip filesize but
commonly had issues with accessing files beyond the 2GB mark.
This is documented on the info-zip website.  It can be
corrected as other applications have come up with ways to
allow zip files above and beyond the 4GB limit that 32-bit
code imposes.
