[softwarelist] SparkFS 1.41 (RISC OS) - Zip size max?

While aiming to make backup to an external USB hard drive, I created a
Zip file so that filetypes would be preserved.

Leaving it to get on with it, it eventually crashed the machine
(Iyonix). After re-booting, DiscKnight showed the Hard Drive was still
"good". 

Double-clicking on the Zip file resulted in an error message inviting
me click on one of 3 buttons. You know: Continue or Quit or Describe.

Clicking on Continue removed the hard drive from the Filer. After
re-booting, the same happened, in succession, with the Quit and
Describe buttons.

Another re-boot. Menu->ZipFile->Count gave 2.1nn-something Gigabytes.

Is that size the problem?

Version 1.41 appears to be current.

Regards.

Frank.
