Thanks. These symptoms indicate that tar found a bad header, and then
couldn't resynchronize and find a good header after that. Perhaps you
can investigate why that would be, though I'm afraid this might
require a debugger. As far as I know, doesn't exit immediately simply
because it finds a bad header.
