  comment:         Hello,

                   I am using Magicsplat distribution for quite some time.

                   One of the options my little app offers is to untar bugreport.tar.gz
                   files generated by Android OS.

                   It seems I had no issues with Magicsplat based on Tcl/Tk 8.6, but when
                   I switched to the latest version based on 9.1, the untar stopped
                   working.

                   I think the older versions used Tcllib 1.2, while the latest one is
                   based on 2.0.

                   I mentioned this issue to Ashok and he suggest to open a ticket here.

                   The error I see is he following:

                   expected integer but got a list  while executing  "format %d 0[string
                   trim [set $x] " \\x00"]"  (procedure "readHeader" line 8)  invoked
                   from within  "readHeader [read $fh 512]"  (procedure "::tar::untar"
                   line 22)  invoked from within  "::tar::untar untar-test.tar"  (file
                   "untar-test.tcl" line 3)

                   I was able to reproduce the issue with the following steps:

                   1. Downloaded and unpacked the tcllib 2.0 sources  2. Tar-ed the
                   resulting folder (used Peazip) into a untar-test.tar  3. Tried to
                   untar with a tcl script:

                   package require tar

                   ::tar::untar untar-test.tar

                   Looks like the untar can unpack one file and then fails.

                   Please let me know if you have any questions.

                   Thanks,  Michael
