I cannot reproduce this problem.  Perhaps you use a (very) old version, 
or maybe your `split' isn't the one which comes with DJGPP.

Please tell what are the size (in bytes) and the date/time stamp of the 
version of `split' you are using, and what is the name of the .zip 
archive where you got that version of `split'.
