A lot of people have reported such problems to the lists (mainly core and devel) since the upgrade to the latest tar-1.16. It seems to happen more often for big files (several MB) that are generated at the end of the install process. No good guess as to what causes this has come forward so far. Here is a guess: Do you have any virus scanner software installed or any haxie that might try to touch newly-created files? Another one: Do you have a particularly slow disk, or do you have heavy swapping ging on while the error happens? -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
