That might be the issue right there. I know for a fact that the file 
wasn't corrupted in any transfers, because there are several similar files 
that came in in the exact same manner (sftp, pgp-armored, decrypted, 
unzipped), and gpg didn't have any problem working with 3+ GB files. 

I also know for a fact that the file in question contains a large amount 
of small TIF files, rather than large files.

One of the reasons I assumed it had something to do with file size is that 
a zcat on the file works fine - that is, the uncompressed files are 
displayed on stdout, but I then lose the ability to distinguish between 
separate files. 

Is there a useable way around this issue, or will I have to make sure I 
don't receive PKZIPped files >2GB?

Thanks!
