According to Mark Moriarty on 3/14/2006 8:01 PM:

Which version of tar?  Following the directions here:

and including a text attachment of cygcheck -svr output would have been
helpful.  Also, I wonder if you are experiencing data corruption due to a
text mount (again, cygcheck output would have made that obvious).

At any rate, I don't know if the gettext archive really does have weird
stuff in it, or if tar is mishandling a valid archive.  I am currently
working on putting together a tar 1.15.90 release, which has a number of
bug fixes beyond the current 1.15.1, so maybe that will help your issue.
