bsdtar lockup on Current-03/10/2009

[Pegasus Mc Cleaft]

Hi Current & Hackers, 

	I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this problem: Any use of bsdtar to 
create a new archive causes the process to be unresponsive to all signals and 
consumes 100% cpu time. The machine I am testing on is a Core 2 quad running 
in AMD64 (8 gigs ram, zfs boot, root, et al.)

	I have tried disabling the zil and prefetch as a precaution but can still 
cause the failure by doing the command below(trying to eliminate zfs writes as 
being the problem):
#tar -cvf /dev/null *

	Unarchiving from tar seems to work OK. The bug may have been introduced a few 
days ago. I just noticed my machine doing this tonight when I tried to do a 
portupgrade and the creation of the backups locked up. 

Thanks, 
Peg
