>Description:
'tar cvfz - empty' produces bogus gzip output that has extra
trailing garbage. This does not corrupt the files but causes
an error when unpacking.
'tar cvf - empty | gzip' works fine however.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ touch empty
$ tar cvf - empty | gzip | gunzip | md5
empty
99a6f2c50591dcebf15eac62ef80b3de
$ tar cvfz - empty | gunzip | md5
empty
gunzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
99a6f2c50591dcebf15eac62ef80b3de
$ tar cvfz - empty | hd
empty
