Or you can take the stdout from zip and go into split(1) ... Or the way
(convoluted) that I do things; tar | gzip | split | dd

Check the changelog on your zip program to see if it's been changed
to support more than 2G. For example, on Fedora Core 3:
$ rpm -q --changelog zip
===========
* Mon Jun 21 2004 Lon Hohberger <lhh@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.3-24
- Extend max file/archive size to 2^32-8193 (4294959103) bytes
- Include better debugging output for configure script
===========
If it's already been changed, perhaps there's some other problem or
still a bug in the utility.
