tar just "fails", without any hint. This is a typical example:

Nice to hear that the problem really exists ;)
So, at least I would be willing to help to fix the problem; don't
know what I'm able to do... Yes, send me the fix, please. Would
be nice to have the full error message - is there some switch or
should I edit the source?

Thanks,
