I pulled down the pkgsrc bz2 today and got several errors on both
the linux and OS X host I tried to extract it on...

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/pkgsrc-2009Q1/pkgsrc.tar.bz2

 md5 tmp/pkgsrc.tar.bz2
MD5 (tmp/pkgsrc.tar.bz2) = f14e1b2131a31630a1060255d4592bef
 ls -l tmp/pkgsrc.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r--   1 geo  geo  21280719 Apr  6 02:40 tmp/pkgsrc.tar.bz2
 tar xjf pkgsrc.tar.bz2
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Skipping to next header
^C

any idea what the problem is?
