lib/libarchive archive_read_support_format_tar.c
Log:
When we go to read the next tar header, if we get zero bytes, accept
that as end-of-archive. Otherwise, a short read at this point
generates an error. This accomodates broken tar writers (such as the
one apparently in use at AT&T Labs) that don't even write a single
end-of-archive block.
Note that both star and pdtar behave this way as well.
In contrast, gtar doesn't complain in either case, and as a
result, will generate no warning for a lot of trashed archives.
