What is the status of this bug?
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=76294
[summary: certain gzipped tar files can't be untarred
correctly with -z flag but work fine if with gzcat|tar xvf -]
Seems to me this bug needs to be fixed in bsdtar before gtar
is removed (note: gtar does not have this problem). In
particular if zlib is buggy, either it needs to be upgraded
or bsdtar needs to run compressed files through gzip.
Thanks!
