This seems to fix the problem for me.  With the 2/17/04 snapshot 
cygwin1.dll I was able to successfully unzip a large (1.4Gb) .zip (with 
lots of long filenames in it) on which unzip had failed on the 1.5.7-1 
cygwin1.dll.

Many thanks to Pierre and Igor for investigating this, and especially to 
Christopher for the fix in the snapshot.  I (we, actually) appreciate 
it.  Thank you.
