you have fulfilled your swap space = /tmp and then the system crashed.
To avoid this in future:
- set a maximum file size for /tmp in /etc/vfstab:
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes
size=100m

(the "size=100m" parameter will limit the file size in your tmp filesystem)

- unzip large files only in /var/tmp or other big filesystem, check the size
of your filesystems by: df -k
