Old description:

When creating HPKG file with `package create -0 -i
/path/to/stub.PackageInfo /path/to/Package.hpkg` from folder with a lot
of small files and total size about 10GB and then extracting with
`package extract /path/to/Package.hpkg`, extraction fails with `Error:
Malformed TOC strings section`.
If HPKG format has some limitation on file count, creation should fail
instead of silently creating invalid HPKG. If there are no limitation,
this is a bug and it should be fixed.

Comment (by pulkomandy):
I don't see any limitation in the package format. The sum of length of
file and directory and attribute names must fit in the "toc" section so
it's limited to 2^64^ bytes but I doubt that's the limit you hit.
The data section offsets are encoded using a variable-length integer
format so it's unlimited.
So it is more likely a bug in the package tool.
