I got the following errors while trying to extract files.
==================
$ tar zxvf /djgpp/zips/sh-utils-2.0i.tar.gz
...
...
...
sh-utils-2.0i/lib/xstrdup.c
sh-utils-2.0i/lib/xstrtod.c
sh-utils-2.0i/lib/xstrtol.c
sh-utils-2.0i/lib/xstrtoul.c
sh-utils-2.0i/lib/xstrtoumax.c
tar: Unexpected end of file in archive
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Processed all files possible, despite earlier errors
===========
The same thing happens with archives that have many files:
sh-utils-2.0[ghi].tar.gz. binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz, gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz
The only one it extracted for me was indent-2.2.5.tar.gz. From what I
could see, I think `tar' fails after a extracting a certain number of
files. `indent' did not have many files, so it worked alright.
The same archives work fine with djtar, however. Is there something I'm
missing or is this a real bug? Someone please clarify.
