Yes, exactly. You shouldn't need to do an explicit fsf, should you?

team is a port, buffer will be (again) as soon as somebody gets around

I think so.
Actually, now that you're asking, I think it rather was like this:

$ tar x
...             # extracts first archive
$ tar x         # does nothing, apparently gets EOF
$ tar x
...             # extracts second archive
