All of a sudden, lots of tgz files, both grabbed during port installs or
downloaded elsewhere, give this message:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
tar: child returned status 1

It should be noted everything still works - the files are complete.  Has anyone
else seen this?  Is there a new and strangely different tar out there?

thanks,
james
