Hi!
Please do the following to reproduce the problem:
tar -czf test1.tar.gz sample.txt
and
tar -czf - sample.txt > test2.tar.gz
The tar.gz files have different size! test2.tar.gz is filled with zeros up
to 10240 bytes, the rest is identical to test1.tar.gz
Is this a bug?
(Opening test2.tar.gz with winzip leads to a warning...)
Best regards
Henning
