  Log:
  When we go to read the next tar header, if we get zero bytes, accept
  that as end-of-archive.  Otherwise, a short read at this point
  generates an error.  This accomodates broken tar writers (such as the
  one apparently in use at AT&T Labs) that don't even write a single
  end-of-archive block.
  
  Note that both star and pdtar behave this way as well.
  In contrast, gtar doesn't complain in either case, and as a
  result, will generate no warning for a lot of trashed archives.
