[Bug-tar] tar doesn't stop after extracting with occurrence parameter

[mascha]

Hi,

I use tar 1.20. I want to extract one single file from a
16GB tar archive that is gzipped with
the following command line:

"tar -xzp --occurrence=1 --ignore-failed-read -C 'target' -f
'tgz' 'file'
>/dev/null 2>&1"

It extracts
the file after some seconds but doesn't stop. top shows a gzip process
running. After some minutes gzip stops and tar ends. I read in the
changelogs to an earlier version that such a bug was fixed.

Is
this expected to work?

Thank you for any help.

Bye,
martin.
