Is the file over 2Gb in size? A number of programs have 2Gb filesize limits (eg "unzip"). You could, perhaps, use it as a pipe: cat dumpfile.bf | openssl bf -d -k mykey > dumpfile

This only is caused by applications that either a) impose a 2GB limit directly (zip being one) or b) have not been built with large file support

Zip files can be over 2Gb in size, however. Windows handles them just fine, but infozip doesn't. I had to use "jar" to extract a massive zip file I had :-)

(-DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -DFILE_OFFSET_BITS=64).

Which is why I only suggested it ("perhaps").
