Short Description
The 7.1.3 tar ball from main site produced an error while extracting

Long Description
Hi

I download the latest code release of PostGresql from http://www.postgresql.org/ftpsite/ and proceded to extract it
using
tar -zxvf postgresql-7.1.3.tar.gz. I received the error that you see in the "example code" window below.

I then proceded to download the same tar ball from the Australian mirror and I extracted it without getting any errors.

Both files were exactly the same size after download (8124455 bytes).

I am using RedHat 7.1 and I just thought I'd let you know this and see whether it has happened to anyone else.

regards
Ralph
