Hi,
recently I found a problem when I try to untar some tar.gz archives
under cygwin. The tar.gz at this link is ca. 1,5kb
http://www.scytek.de/expat.pat.tar.gz .
It is just one example, it is taken from OpenOffice641C.
On my Windows 2K machine, cygwin updatet a few minutes ago, I get:
Administrator AT LISI ~/tartest
$ tar -tzf expat.pat.tar.gz
pat/
pat/xmlparse/
pat/xmlparse/hashtable.h.pat
pat/xmlparse/xmlparse.h.pat
pat/xmltok/
tar: Child died with signal 13
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Administrator AT LISI ~/tartest
$ la
total 6
dr-xr-xr-x 2 Administ Kein 0 Feb 26 10:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 Administ Kein 4096 Feb 26 10:02 ..
-r-xr-xr-x 1 Administ Kein 1435 Sep 20 2000 expat.pat.tar.gz
I get this error in both cases, with CYGWIN=ntsec tty and CYGWIN=tty.
I also get this error on Cygwin on our Windows 2K server, but there I
can't change the environement ;-)
If I do an gunzip first, and then a tar -tf foo.tar I get no error.
I also don't get an error doing the tar -tzf on cygwin on Windows98SE
or Linux.
Only few *.tar.gz files have this problem, but some have. I have three
more examples, but they are not so short as the one mentioned above.
Any ideas?
Volker
