i found this when i cancelled out of the build and then tried rebuilding and got a traceback:

[2051] <@  dirtyepic> | http://pastebin.com/d625aec5b <- anyone else see this at the end of tar-1.22 configure?
[2054] <    zmedico> | dirtyepic: agaffney had that yesterday
[2054] <@    zmedico> | <agaffney> http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125701#c51 <-- that seems to be a workaround for it
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-03-10 04:09:32 UTC 
the python/portage crash is their bug
Comment 2 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-10 04:38:24 UTC 
true.  i just wanted to illustrate that this bug isn't cosmetic, it can cause a real error.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-03-10 06:03:05 UTC 
... which is why i havent closed this bug

at any rate, it isnt a tar specific issue
