Description J. Greg Davidson 2005-10-06 01:02:28 UTC 
When I download
 http://government-grants.org/mirrors/apache.org/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.9/src/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-src.tar.gz

from
    http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_tomcat-5.cgi
I get a tar archive with the correct md5sum but when I
    tar xzf /New/Web/Servers/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-src.tar.gz 
I get
    tar: A lone zero block at 44498
and even if I
    tar xizf /New/Web/Servers/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-src.tar.gz
I get
    tar: Skipping to next header
    tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Please fix!

Untarring the archive works for me.  Are you sure you're using a GNU-compatible
tar binary?  The bold note in the README file on the download page notes this.
