Pack binary? Can you tell what machine and what steps?

Build.sh can be used for Windows too, using MSYS2 UCRT64.

Windows 11 sandbox, running atop Windows 11. Binary downloaded from your webpage.

Data being packed was an unzipped copy of linux-master.zip fetched from GitHub unpacked with windows zip, selecting skip for the overlapping case files.

What are the parameters you gave to the CLI program? This issue seems interesting, as these files on Windows 11 were tested countless times.

To be clear, you can run Pack as: `pack.exe ./linux-master/`
