Description:
Unpacking the Connector/J tarballs lead to error:

tar: A lone zero block at 130600
tar: A lone zero block at 71018

How to repeat:
# md5sum mysql-connector-java-3.1.13.tar.gz
b2fc8cc8990d85629b183f284a8f46d8  mysql-connector-java-3.1.13.tar.gz
# gzip -d mysql-connector-java-3.1.13.tar.gz
# tar -xf mysql-connector-java-3.1.13.tar
tar: A lone zero block at 130600

# md5sum mysql-connector-java-5.0.3.tar.gz
4cc2adf8601f5d82a2d759c2abaf16bc  mysql-connector-java-5.0.3.tar.gz
# gzip -d mysql-connector-java-5.0.3.tar.gz
# tar -xf mysql-connector-java-5.0.3.tar
tar: A lone zero block at 71018

Problem was verified by MySQL Support.

Seems not to have an influence on the result but look ugly an can make customers unsure!

Suggested fix:
Do NOT use Windows package mechanism???

Fixed by updating Apache ant on the build machine (known bug with their tar implementation).
