I guess that the file got corrupted on the medium.  Hard disks are not
100% error free and with such a large file there is a chance that you
experienced a bit flip.

The first is only good for the ascii armor which you don't use.
--ignore-mdc-error ignores error in the Manipulation Detection Code of
the data; not very useful either.

That was probably something with a 2GB or 4GB edge condition or missing
support for large files.  Not your problem as you stated in the other
mail that you were able to decrypt about 30% of the 400GB file.

In theory we could add code to resync the parser again but Idount that
this will help you becuase yoyu would also need to fix the then
corrupted ZIP tarball.  Well, it can all be done but would take quite
some time to do and even more time for proper testing.
