The issue might be simiilar to http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5452

Does that mean that the fix is to change

http://svn.codehaus.org/plexus/plexus-components/trunk/plexus-archiver/src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/archiver/tar/TarOutputStream.java

public void finish()
throws IOException

{ this.writeEOFRecord(); }

into

public void finish()
throws IOException

{ this.writeEOFRecord(); this.writeEOFRecord(); }

??

Then as in the PHP Pear issue above, care must be taken if there are other parts of the archiver that expects a single empty block.
