Is it me, or are *a lot* of people getting bugs like this lately? Problems
with tar, paroblems with gzip, null file sizes, unterminated here-docs...
maybe it's all isolated glitches but it looks like some kind of weird file
corruption that a lot of people are catching aspects of.

I'm sorry that I don't have any, but I've got a feeling that a lot of
people hare seeing different versions of the same problem that you are.
As far as I've noticed, no clear explanation or remedy has emerged yet,
but I would be very interested in finding out what's going on with your
system and others that are seeing what I suspect is the same thing.
In the meantime, can you re-install tar or fileutils? If that doesn't
help, would it help to reinstall fink itself? Have you done a recent CVS
update to make sure that your catalog is current & intact?
