deployproxy fails with a 500 error on large-ish proxy

I have a proxy which includes JWT creation (from https://github.com/apigee/iloveapis2015-jwt-jwe-jws) and thus includes some JARs, for a total of 2.7mb. When deploying this, it always fails with:

c:>apigeetool deployproxy -p password -u username@example.com-D -o organisation-name -n proxy-name -k -V -a 50 -i

Uploading smaller proxies does work well.

Uploading a zip of the proxy via the Apigee UI works well (1-2 minutes).

Having looked at the Node source code, and tried uploading to a new proxy name, I'm expecting the uploader to make a zip file:

var zipBuf = ziputils.makeOneFileZip(ProxyBase, rootEntryName, rootDoc);

and upload that; however, it seems to upload the resources, policies, proxies and targets one by one.

Has anyone seen this behavior ?

Reproduce the failure with the reported 2.7 MB proxy, then inspect lib/commands/deployproxy.js around line 397 and the ziputils.makeOneFileZip entry point mentioned in the issue. Done means deploying a similarly large proxy succeeds through the CLI without the 500 error, while smaller proxies continue to work.
