Sorry. It looks like I screwed up the correspondence between "CYGWIN=binmode"
and stdin/stdout.
The only work-arounds that I can think of are:
1) Fix tar so that -O sets stdout to O_BINARY (the correct fix).
2) Do something like:
sh -c "tar -O -xf file.tar > qqq"
and make sure that qqq goes to a directory that is mounted with
the -b option.
I'll release a new version of cygwin after I've seen a few more reports on
1.1.3 here, just to make sure that there are no other problems with this
release.
