At least two of those are in a #if 0 block... since 2001
(pg_backup_tar.c:_tarGetHeader).  I'm thinking we may be better off
removing that code rather than continuing to pull it along (and update
it- there were at least three commits fixing things in that block
after it had been #if 0'd out).  Another technically had a check, but
it was late, I've got a patch to improve that.

The last is inside a snprintf() which is just building a string to call
exit_horribly() with- seems like that's safe enough?

    Thanks,

        Stephen
