If I just tar up /dev/fd and/or /dev/zero as well as an arbitrary file afterwards, I get the following: star: Numerical result out of range. Cannot setxattr for 'bin/true'. If I (addtionally to one of those two device files above) tar up one of /dev/tty[a-z]*, I get instead: star: Operation not supported. Cannot setxattr for 'bin/true'. I did not have the time to run star through gdb yet. If you think that would be worthwhile, I can do it of course.
