What this file catchesThe Windows path limit, which is lower for directories than for files. Without long-path support a process can create a file at a 259-character path but a directory only at 247, because MAX_PATH reserves twelve characters for an 8.3 name inside it. Extraction therefore fails while creating a folder rather than while writing a file, and leaves a half-extracted tree. Linux (4096 bytes) and macOS (1024 bytes) take this without complaint, so it only reproduces on Windows.
