>Description:

Tar with verification is broken.

If you try and verify a tape file, it's broken because it closes the tape
file (causing a filemark to be written) but only does one BSF- it doesn't
relocate to the front of the tape file just written.

If you try and verify a regular file, you get the diagnostice:

quarm.feral.com > tar --create --verify --file /tmp/foo.tar .
tar in free(): warning: chunk is already free.


>How-To-Repeat:

Try verification.

>Fix:
