22 The attached patch is from gnu-tar-cvs and it fixes 'tar jxf' with tar-1.14
23 and uclibc. Thanks to Bennett Todd for investigating this. The problem is
24 bzip2 linked against uclibc fails to satisfy some assumptions about stdout
25 blocking introduced with tar-1.14. You might want to add this to gnu-tar's
26 patches.
