[Bug-tar] Message error: Skipping to next header

[Luca Fibbi]

I have obtained the following messages of error:

tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed form previous errors

when I extract or list an tar archive using the version 1.14 with the
format posix and the option -T. For example the following command line:

tar -x --format=posix -f ./prova.tar -T list.txt

The error messages disappear if, in the function void skip_member (void)
(file list.c), I add the following line:

 set_next_block_after (current_header);
 decode_header (current_header, &current_stat_info, &current_format, 1);
<---- NEW LINE

 assign_string (&save_name, current_stat_info.file_name);

Thanks,
Luca Fibbi
