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.
