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.
