It's the tar header keyword extensions inside the gzip payload that are tripping up the integrated tar+gz auto-detector in GNU tar. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
