Question Need help decrypting 19GB file with PGP 8.0 on MacOSX10.3.2

Hi all: I was able to back up my user area to my Lacie drive, compress, and then encrypt as a file using PGP 8.x on my PB running Macosx 10.3.2. Unfortunately, I am now trying to decrypt this file, which is 19GB in size.

PGP starts to decrypt, and creates two zip files from what was a single zip file: one of the files is 4GB in size and the other is 14GB in size. PGP then errors out with the "PGP unexpectedly quit" message. When I try to unzip these files either with BOMArchive of Stuffit expander 8.x the zip files cannot be unziped.

Is there some other thing I can do to recover this file? Do I need to maybe use a machine with more horse power to decrypt and unzip this 19GB file? Thanks.
