State-Changed-Why:
I don't remember what I was thinking in 2006, and any diagnosis I did
then would have ended up in here (thus, little or none) so IDK. But
remember that installworld runs by creating and unpacking sets, not
install(1), so the problem is probably somewhere in the tar/pax/whatnot
borg. Or was. And probably the problem was total failure to detect
write errors at all.

Whether this is still current I have no idea; it should be possible to
test it with a scratch partition.
