write error with new version of tar

2010-03-19 Thread Chris Staub
I started a new build of current dev LFS, and noticed some strange behavior from tar once inside chroot. Using tar 1.23, attempting to pipe its tf output through head results in a tar: write error. In other words... tar -tjf /home/sources/glibc-2.11.1.tar.bz2 | head -n1 glibc-2.11.1/
