Sorry, but from the symptoms you described earlier, it very
much looks like a file system issue.  It's true that you
are observing the bug only when you use tar 1.26, but it's
not a bug in tar 1.26 itself -- it's a file system (or
kernel) bug that tar 1.26 happens to be running into but
that earlier versions of tar do not.

You will get the same bug with other programs, eventually,
if you keep using that file system.  So my suggestion is
to get that file system bug fixed.
