This is not a problem. Tar doesn't complain if you decompress the .bz2 file at first and then "tar -xf" the decompressed file (.tar). Tar doesn't know the size of the uncompressed file (yet) when it's still compressed because Tar is reading from stdin. Try this: (bzcat ~/.../.../vim-7.1.tar.bz2 ; dd bs=5120 if=/dev/zero count=1 ) | tar tvf - Does it help?
