 Yes, I detected it on i386, and all broken archives were >2G ( source
files were around 4G, I believe they were between 3.6 and 4.5G ), tests I
ran with smaller files were successfull. 
 In trying to re-create the conditions, I ran into strange quirk
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=4096 compresses into 2.4G .lrz using
0.45, 4M using gzip, and 154k using lrzip 0.551.
 I had to erase most of the broken files due to space constraints, but kept
one (2.3G in size), I also managed to recover from backup few of originals
and am trying to re-create the problem, but the process is quite
time-consuming.
