>Description:
	There is at least one archive file which triggers an error message
(and non-zero exit status) with pax-as tar. The same file unpacks without
error with GNU tar.
Appearently the output files are created correctly, just a spurious
error is reported.

$ tar tzf ../../distfiles/ReportLab_1_19.tgz 2>&1|tail -3
reportlab-1_19/reportlab/tools/pythonpoint/styles/standard.py
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
$ gtar tzf ../../distfiles/ReportLab_1_19.tgz 2>&1|tail -3
reportlab-1_19/reportlab/tools/pythonpoint/styles/modern.py
reportlab-1_19/reportlab/tools/pythonpoint/styles/projection.py
reportlab-1_19/reportlab/tools/pythonpoint/styles/standard.py

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to unpack ftp://ftp.reportlab.com/ReportLab_1_19.tgz.
(cd /usr/pkgsrc/print/py-reportlab; make)

>Fix:
	???
