By doing a little research we've found that this behavior appears when package size is greater than 1GiB (not accurate 1GiB but 1.4GB is enough). We started to investigate setup.exe sources but we stuck in bison sources.

If you provide more details on that problem, I can probably give some 
advice.

Odd.

I suspect that there might be additional problems later on, if the 
uncompressed size of the package exceeds 2GB (as briefly mentioned in [1])
