Description Need Real Name 2000-12-20 05:51:24 UTC 
when using "tar tzf -", it will hang.
I debug into tar source codes, and found that "tar-1.13.17-exitcode.patch"
use "waitpid()" system call, it use third parameter with zero, which means
that it will hang until child process exit, but "gzip -d" child process
never exit.
