package: libtar-dev
severity: normal

The example code /usr/share/doc/libtar-dev/examples/libtar.c.gz
pushes a pointer through an int:

gzf = gzdopen(fd, gzoflags);
[...]
return (int)gzf;

in order to be given to gzread and gzwrite again. This will give
quite funny results on some architectures.
Thus it should really not be in example code, or only if the code
is an example marked as "never ever do that"...

Hochachtungsvoll,
