If you've got some spare time, there's been discussion about a potential
way to fix this problem.

Assuming you still can reproduce the 'tar' hang, then please try the
following:

1)  Temporarily rename /sw/bin/tar to something unlikely to be run, like
/sw/bin/tar.dont.work

2)  Try building something whose source is a tarball.  fink will default
to use Apple's 'gnutar' for unpacking instead.

If the unpack and build process works, then we can confirm that the
issue is with our tar.  There have been reports in the past on IRC that
this worked, but I'd like a more public confirmation. :-)
