Which version of tar? Following the directions here: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html and including a text attachment of cygcheck -svr output would have been helpful. Also, I wonder if you are experiencing data corruption due to a text mount (again, cygcheck output would have made that obvious). At any rate, I don't know if the gettext archive really does have weird stuff in it, or if tar is mishandling a valid archive. I am currently working on putting together a tar 1.15.90 release, which has a number of bug fixes beyond the current 1.15.1, so maybe that will help your issue. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
