Description

The issue is present in versions 1.1 and 1.2 as well.

the tar function creates tar files that are padded at the end with junk data from previous data in the archive. this is an issue that was present in the ant tar function was well and was fixed there about 2 years ago (ant >=1.8.0).

To fix this, you could either resync the tar implementation from current ant or apply the path individually. The patch is listed here
