TarOutputStream can leave garbage at the end of the archive
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COMPRESS-81
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-81
             Project: Commons Compress
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0
            Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
            Assignee: Stefan Bodewig
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.1


when the last block of the tar archive is incomplete it will contain two EOF blocks potentially followed by partial contents of the next-to-last block.  This causes problems with some "bad" untar implementations that read past the EOF blocks.
