[Gnu-arch-users] Lone zero blocks

[Aaron Bentley]

Hi all,
With tar 1.13.93, I occasionally get this kind of message when accessing 
archives:
tar: A lone zero block at 260
An example would be Tom's patch-93:
http://arch.quackerhead.com/~lord/archives/address@hidden/tla/tla--devo/tla--devo--1.2/patch-93/tla--devo--1.2--patch-93.patches.tar.gz

I'm not sure whether it happens in other archives too.

In spite of this, tla does build successfully.  It seems as though the 
message is just a warning.  Anyone have any insight?
