Yes, reproducibly. It's very anoying. It seems to be not entirely related to
filesize; I have 2GB+ tgz's that decompress fine, and <1GB tgz's that are
broken. I will check to see if it is perhaps /content/ related.

BTW, I am using 2.0 /release/s' tar -xzf, so it's probably not only broken
in current.
