"The Unarchiver" has the same bug. Mac OS 10.8.4's native Archive Utility works
nicely.

This seems to be the same as issue 681. Also, that means the file is actually
broken, and it should be reported to whatever program created it. (It's trying
to store more than 65536 files in a Zip without using Zip64 extensions, which
will produce an invalid file.)
I've tried to add workarounds to detect and handle broken files like these. I
don't know how well The Archive Browser will handle an archive with that many
files, though... I don't dare test.

As I said, Mac OS X Archive Utility handles it fine, so it means that TU is not
a drop-in replacement for AU at the moment.

And as I said, I've added workarounds and it should work now, but the file is
broken and should be reported.

If the format is indeed invalid, and you aren't working around it, an error
message would be useful — the current behavior basically amounts to data
loss, and gave me a real fright when I first experienced it.

(Whoops, sorry about that, did not see your comment that it works now. Thanks.)

For the third time: I am working around it. Please pay attention.

FWIW, when you wrote "I've tried to add workarounds to detect and handle broken
files like these," I misunderstood — I thought that you meant you had worked
around similar problems, not this exact problem. My (mis)understanding was
confirmed by the reporter saying that the problem was not fixed for him.
You also didn't mention a version number when you fixed this particular
problem, which I'd typically do in my own software. And your last comment
overlapped mine by only a minute, to the point that it was not visible when I
submitted mine. I did even apologize — give me a break.

I posted that just as I fixed it, so it will be in the next version.
