Hi Dennis, it's not a bug, it's a feature. ;-) No seriously: it's the `git archive` command which is used to export the tree into a tarfile. It adds an extended header containing the commit hash of the commit which was exported. Older tar programs don't know how to deal with that header and are a bit confused about it. We had a similar discussion after 1.1.1b was released, it started here https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2019-February/009936.html see in particular reply https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2019-February/009949.html and the links to the LKML which it contains https://lkml.org/lkml/2005/6/18/5 https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=111909182607985&w=2 HTH, Matthias
