I'm on Windows XP. Using cygwin tar 1.18, I find that I can't untar archiva; I get "A lone zero block at 49260". I've filed it as MRM-671.

IIUC, "A lone zero block ...." is merely a warning, not an error.
Cause is PLXCOMP-38. (I'd comment in the issue, but JIRA is seems broken right now.)

I've found the zip version, and I'm going to use it. But I've filed MRM-672 that the zip version should be more visible, because tar isn't very standardized across OSes... Linux tar can easily create archives that Cygwin tar won't extract,

Cygwin and Linux both use GNU tar. So that seems unlikely, unless you're referring to the inherent filesystem naming limits imposed by Windows.

Solaris tar can get confused by long file names in GNU tar files, etc.
