Subject:	tar.gz file that wedges djtar

I have a tar.gz file that wedges djtar. I know it's a perfectly valid file,
GNU tar on my linux box has no trouble. When I try to untar it under DOS
though, the first file gets extracted, it prints the name of the second,
then hangs and needs to be Ctrl-Break'ed. The file is
bsd-games.src-1.3.tar.gz, and is (supposedly) available on tsx-11.mit.edu in
/pub/linux/sources/usr.games/ or at sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/games/ .
Mine has size 997776, cksum (ie POSIX crc) 92959334, so you can be sure it's
the same one. I can email it if someone wants the test case, but I'd rather not.
Any thoughts appreciated. It's not desperate for me, but it seems like djtar
might need fixing.
