We get an error zipping about 9GB of data.
The first error message is vague. The next message "Input file read failure" seems to be a cause of the first error. There's no failure if I zip just the folder that got the read failure (Info-ZIP v2.31 win 32 bit):


---log:
  ...
  adding: SVNBACKUP/db/revs/31226 (176 bytes security) (deflated 74%)
  adding: SVNBACKUP/db/revs/31227 (176 bytes security) (deflated 74%)
  adding: SVNBACKUP/db/revs/31228 (176 bytes security)
zip I/O error: Invalid argument

zip error: Input file read failure (was zipping SVNBACKUP/db/revs/3122
---end of log

I installed v2.32 and got the same error, but it processed a bit further, so that proved there's nothing wrong with the file system.

Can it be related to this: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-01/msg00035.html ?

Zip 2.x and UnZip 5.x do not offer support for large (>2GB) files, so
some kind of OS-dependent I/O problem may be expected in this situation.

Zip 3.0 and UnZip 6.00 will offer large-file support when they are
released.  Until then, source kits for pre-release ("BETA") versions
should be available at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=118012

I don't know if anyone offers binary kits for Windows for these.
