Definitely not.

This appears to be a bug, and I'd like to get to the bottom of it.
I suspect there is some meta data, most likely a file size, that
isn't encoded correctly.

Let's take this off list.  No doubt the tar file is very large.
You should try to find the smallest tar file that shows the
problem.

Rather than extract the archive, use tar -tvf instead.  Scroll
through the output, and find the first error, most likely "tar:
Skipping to next header".  Look at the few file names prior to
that.  Try generating a tar archive with just that directory, eg,
something like this:

    /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -t -h 62z62l1 -n -1 -s win7home 
/AppData/Local/Temp/Low | tar -tvf -

Try to zero-in on the deepest path that still gives an error.
If the tar file is small enough, please compress and email it
to me.
