Hi,
I'm using GNU tar on Interix. See http://www.debian-interix.net/
for more details.
I have 2 problems (maybe related) with tar:
1. I encountered some .tar.gz files which I cannot extract correctly.
Most others work well. One of those failing files is:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/smstools/smstools_3.1.orig.tar.gz
I get:
$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.20

$ tar xzf smstools_3.1.orig.tar.gz
tar: Child died with signal 13
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
The archive gets extracted anyway, but tar fails. These ones both
work, however:
$ gzip -d -c smstools_3.1.orig.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cat smstools_3.1.orig.tar.gz | tar xzf -
I then tried some old versions of tar. 1.16.1 is also failing, but
1.15.9 does not fail on that archive.
2. I then tried building tar 1.21, and I encountered that the tests
don't go through anymore (3 failed), while they did for 1.16.1 and 1.20.
2: decompressing from stdin FAILED (pipe.at:33)
22: extracting selected members from pax FAILED (extrac05.at:38)
56: short records FAILED (shortrec.at:28)
I have attached the testsuite.log for both 1.20 and 1.21.
You can also find the build log for 1.20 at
http://www.debian-interix.net/debian-interix/pool/unreleased35/main/t/tar/tar_1.20-1+interix.1_20081210-2150.gz
I can provide more info or do some tests on request.
Many thanks in advance
Martin
