 * This one is wierd. I last built this (sucessfully) in Aug 6th. When I first
 * saw the tarfile break I FTP'ed a clean one, and I have also pulled one off
 * the 2.0.5 CDROM, with the same problem. Notice that the Checksum is OK...
 * 
 * I am running current - about 3 days old.

This is very, very strange.  I just did a build, and it went without a 
hitch.

What does "gzip --test <distfile>" say?  Or can you do "tar tvzf
<distfile>" by hand?
