What is the status of this bug?

    http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=76294

[summary: certain gzipped tar files can't be untarred
correctly with -z flag but work fine if with gzcat|tar xvf -]

Seems to me this bug needs to be fixed in bsdtar before gtar
is removed (note: gtar does not have this problem).  In
particular if zlib is buggy, either it needs to be upgraded
or bsdtar needs to run compressed files through gzip.

Thanks!
