Please read linux kernel mailing list - several main kernel developers are
reporting file corruption with test11 - with test12pre3 there
are several fixies for this problem.

This is what happend to me:

$ tar zxf linux-2.4.0-test11.tar.gz 

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

After reboot this file was correct again... 

I would say no other comments are neccessary. Though there are still
problems with test12pre3 they are definitely smaller then with test11
