Why do I get "child died with signal 13" from tar?

[Malcolm Boekhoff]

I am trying to re-install ncurses with the following command:

    tar zvxf /d/mcb/download/cygwin/latest/ncurses/ncurses-5.2-4.tar.gz

but after lots of files are extracted, I get this:

    ...
    usr/share/terminfo/z/ztx11
    tar: Child died with signal 13
    tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Any clues?
