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.

Various versions of gnutar have 2 and 8 gig maximums on the file sizes they can handle. Do you know if the file where it fails is huge? Does anyone have a reference for which tar versions have which limit?
