FreeBSD bsd01.localdomain 9.0-HEAD-20100715-JPSNAP FreeBSD 9.0-HEAD-20100715-SNAP #0: Thu Jul 15 06:37:19 UTC 2010 root@build-amd64-fbsd.allbsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
When extracting a .tgz file that had been truncated (from 1GB to 16MB), the error message didn't report the problem - gtar reported "unexpected end of file"; bsdtar's error was:

> tar xf l_cproc_p_11.1.072.tgz
l_cproc_p_11.1.072/rpm/intel-cproipp072-11.1-1.noarch.rpm: (Empty error message)
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
