I wonder where you found 80-year-old GIF files? ;-) Bug: Very old files trip a consistency check inside of libarchive when writing the default "pax" format. Status: It's fixed in -CURRENT (August) and in RELENG-5 (October) and will be fixed in 6.1. (I've been busy at work and missed the 6.0 code freeze.) Workaround: Use --format=ustar Alternate Workaround: "touch" any files that are older than 1970.
