http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2015-02/msg00010.html talked about a 
child exiting with status 11, so what does that -1 mean?

If a child is exiting with status 11, it's probably a problem with gzip rather 
than with tar.  If tar is exiting with status -1, I suggest using lldb to figure 
out why (who's calling 'exit', that sort of thing).
