Do you have an idea, why this could happen ? The archive is valid, unpacking by
hand works.

It seems so, that this file was interpreted as a dir ...

mkdir.cc
<snip>

 if (isadir)
    {
      if (CreateDirectory (path, 0))
	return 0;
      gse = GetLastError ();
      if (gse != ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND && gse != ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)
	{
	  if (gse == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
	    {
	      fprintf (stderr,
		       "warning: deleting \"%s\" so I can make a directory there\n",
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
		       path);
	      if (DeleteFileA (path))
		return mkdir_p (isadir, path);
	    }
	  return 1;
	}
    }



or could this have anything to do with the file name length ? It is the longest
filename in the archive (103 characters).
