[tbox-l] bug with tar --bzip2

[<Jor...@nt...>]

There seems to be a problem with the -j switch to tar (--bzip2):

frigg:src$ uname -a
AIX frigg 3 5 00021F0CD700 powerpc unknown AIX
frigg:src$ type tar
tar is hashed (/usr/linux/bin/tar)
frigg:src$ rpm -qf /usr/linux/bin/tar
tar-1.14-1
frigg:src$ tar --bzip2 -tf tclx8.4.tar.bz2
tar: Unaligned block (5000 bytes) in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

The above bz2-compressed archive is the original v.8.4 distro of tclx,
and is in perfect condition:

frigg:src$ bzip2 -d -c tclx8.4.tar.bz2 | tar tf - | head -5
tclx8.4/
tclx8.4/doc/
tclx8.4/doc/Keylist.3
tclx8.4/doc/CmdWrite.3
tclx8.4/doc/TclXInit.3


So there seems to be a problem with the 1.14-1 tar binary bzip2
decompression.
