We could detect that archive contents are coming from terminal input and fail immediately (IIRC tar waits indefinitely ATM until it's input is cut by ctrl+d or it is killed).

$ lzip -t lzip: I won't read compressed data from a terminal. Try 'lzip --help' for more information. Best regards, Antonio.
