So I tried unpacking the tarball manually, within script, then grepping
the typescript to see if that might shed any light on what's causing the
problem:

g1-227(8.3-S)[25] grep -A 1 -B 2 '^tar: ' typescript

g1-227(8.3-S)[2] exit
g1-227(8.3-S)[26] 

I suppose that's ... interesting -- but I don't know that I'm all
that much closer to resolving the issue.

Does this work for anyone else?

Peace,
david
