Guys.
You may seriously want to reconsider the debian patch to src/list.c.
What it does, basically, is make tar exit when it encounters a zero block
and no -i flag is given, without exhausting the input.
The "without exhausting the input" part is important when the input is
piped from a decompressor, because it means that the gunzip (or bunzip2,
or whatever) child of tar gets a SIGPIPE, and beginning with 1.22 tar
actually bothers to notice the fact and bombs out too.
Bottom line: this patch has always been wrong, but its effect is only
visible
beginning with the 1.22 upstream version.
Cheers,
