This mess was possible created by KDE.

An archive was created using 'rm NAME.snar; tar -C ROOT -g NAME.snar
-czf NAME.tgz'. 'wanderfalke' is a sub directory of ROOT.

When trying to extract the achieve tar 1.13.25 stops with no error
message extracting after encountering this directory structure making
the rest of the achieve not accessible.

tar 1.15.1 gives the message 'tar: A lone zero block at 172142' but
stops extracting, too. Using the '-i' option the extraction is not
stopped but I am not sure whether the result is 100% correct. The
message 'tar: Skipping to next header' is given twice.

Until now I did not test this when creating the achieve with tar
1.15.1.

Best regards

Josef
