tar 1.5.error: lone zero block

I'm unpacking a tar that contains a linux root filesystem on my cygwin
machine. I get a complaint about a "lone zero block" and the tar is not
completely extracted. This is with tar 1.15.91-1, if I roll back to
1.15.1-4, then the problem goes away. Appears to be a bug. The same
thing happened for me on several different tars. I attached both
sucessful and failure logs to this email. Note that the messages about
filenames that contain ":", etc are expected, since that is an illegal
filename on windows. You'll see those in both logs.
While I'm mentioning tar, I think I'll bring up again that I'm also
still seeing the following problem on both 1.15.1-4 and 1.15.91-1. I'm
no longer running the snapshot, this is with the normal "released"
versions of everything.
