I don't ;) I'd say that the modification time on your archive going backwards after the extraction is pretty significant. Let me take a guess that the creation of the archive took 3-4 minutes? :) What's happenned is that you created your archive in such a way that the file 'NEW' itself is a member of its own archive so at some point along the extraction phase, you've re-extracted NEW over the top of itself.
