Busybox' 'tar' applet can't expand some gzipped tarballs:

# od -t x4 test.tar.gz | head -1
0000000 1f8b0800 84a38c4c 0203ec5d 7b779b46 << expands correctly

# od -t x4 nano-2.2.5.tar.gz  | head -1
0000000 1f8b0800 25635b4c 0203ec3c fd77dac6 << tar errors: "invalid tar magic"

That nano is from 'http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/nano/nano-2.2.5.tar.gz';
that test.tar.gz was made by myself using bbox's tar.
As I see, magic $1F8B0800 is okay is both files.

Of course, non-bbox tar expands them both okay.
