That's your problem! Don't figure too much and trust cygwin more than 
winzip, please.

That's not weird, if you have only 37MB free on C!
Winzip as welll as other stupid filemanagers such as Total Commander and 
Windows Commander gunzip at first the tar to temp dir and then untar 
that tar which results in a "disk full error".

cygwin tar xfz doesn't need this and will work much better.

BTW: installing cygwin on 37MB left is not a good idea, esp. when it 
comes to tempspace for /tmp.
Same for Windows TEMP on C:
How about moving your programs from your 1GB C: partition to E: (19GB) 
and leave C: for your system alone?
