I got this same problem with etc01. When I looked at 'df's' output I saw
that my disk had run full  free -18619  106% (maybe the negative number is not
a bug but a feature?), and I blamed the fact that I had all of bin01,etc01 and src01 in /tmp at that time. I will get to extracting etc01 soon and will see
if extract will work now.
