8000 buffers.

Further information: the reason that the archive failed to fully extract is that it was supposed to be a patch that extracted over the top of the previous installation (this is Latex for AOS4.0, I've been updating my installation over the last couple of days). The previous installation has a lot of soft links, but in the patch archive, the updated files appear as actual files, not as links, so when the archive is extracted, it tries to overwrite the soft links with these files, which fails. This was the cause of the archive extraction failing, and perhaps is also related to the buffer problem. Perhaps also it is not related, but I try to give as much information as possible.

Since then, I have backed up my data and reformatted that partition, because there were filesystem errors that I did not know how to correct.

No special reason -- I just double clicked the file, and it opened UnArc, which did the unpacking one step at a time. In future, perhaps I'll configure something smoother.
