There are large 2-6GB files in the tar file, but not at the point where it stops. It never really gets close to that point.
For what its worth I'm runing tar-1.14-8 on a CentOS 4.2 fully updated/patched system.
Try 'cat foo.tar | tar x' and see if it helps. I seem to recall using this as a workaround for a similar problem a while back.
