In some cases, a tar archive containing files with DOS line endings will fail to untar with the messages: tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
The attached script "testtar" tests the various combinations. It creates some text files with DOS line endings and some with Unix line endings. It then creates an archive of each type of file with CYGWIN set to either binmode or nobinmode. Then it tests the ability to read the four archives with the two settings of CYGWIN.
With CYGWIN set to nobinmode, tar fails on the archives of DOS files created under either mode.
This happens on both a Windows 2000 machine with cygwin 1.5.19-4 and a Windows XP machine with 1.5.18-1.
