I'm unpacking a tar that contains a linux root filesystem on my cygwin machine. I get a complaint about a "lone zero block" and the tar is not completely extracted. This is with tar 1.15.91-1, if I roll back to 1.15.1-4, then the problem goes away. Appears to be a bug. The same thing happened for me on several different tars. I attached both sucessful and failure logs to this email. Note that the messages about filenames that contain ":", etc are expected, since that is an illegal filename on windows. You'll see those in both logs.
While I'm mentioning tar, I think I'll bring up again that I'm also still seeing the following problem on both 1.15.1-4 and 1.15.91-1. I'm no longer running the snapshot, this is with the normal "released" versions of everything. http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-05/msg00738.html Thanks, Jeremiah Lott TimeSys Corporation
