>Description:
Copying binary files from windows (.exe, .dll) with "cpio -p --sparse"
does create files that are truncated. These files seem to have multiple hole (0) segments and zero segments at the end of the files.

Copying works fine without "--sparse". 
>How-To-Repeat:
Try copying windows binaries or dlls. Example file is from Acrobat
Reader 5.0:
% echo ACROFX32.DLL | /usr/bin/cpio -p --sparse /tmp
% ls -l ACROFX32.DLL /tmp/ACROFX32.DLL 
-rw-r--r--  1 root    wheel  52224 Dec  6 17:49 /tmp/ACROFX32.DLL
