sorry, i removed Nov16 version from the site. now Nov17 version is available: 
http://freearc.org/Download-Alpha.aspx

the problem was due to the small filesize. it's mentioned in changelog as

* REP: fixed bug causing hangup on files with size=BLOCKSIZE*N+k where 0<=k<L

I can confirm: this bug is fixed but i found another one... SFX module 
"arc-tiny.sfx" does not allow decompression after the .EXE file is created.

ERROR: unsupported compression method rep:875kb:96:d4mb:s32+4x4:tor:875kb:c3

it's why it called tiny. from unarc readme.txt (included in the sources 
package):

    arc*.sfx.linux - console Linux-i386 self-extractors
    freearc*.sfx   - GUI Win32 self-extractors
    arc*.sfx       - console Win32 self-extractors

SFX modules, classification by included compression methods:
    *arc.sfx      - full, includes decomression code for all FreeArc compression/encryption algorithms and external compression DLLs (CLS)
    *arc-mini.sfx - without encryption/mm/tta/grzip/tornado/dispack/lz4, i.e. for archives created with options like -mx -mm-
    *arc-tiny.sfx - also without rep/lzp/ppmd, i.e. for archives created with options like -m9x -mm-

Modules for producing simple installers:
    freearc-installer.sfx - extracts files into temporary directory, runs setup.exe and deletes extracted files when it finished
