[Bug-tar] tar corrupts filenames when using --delete

[Bdale Garbee]

A while back, a Debian developer observed that using --delete can in
at least some cases cause filenames after the deleted ones to be
corrupted.  There's a test case in the bug log at

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=869087

I was able to confirm that this still happens with tar 1.30.  Any idea
what's happening and why?
