Perhaps there's something up with stderr, file descriptor 2, and that
causes the first signal the handling of which wobbles because it would
like to use stderr?

Is there something on RISC OS like strace(1) now? On Linux, one can see
tar doing things like GET_FD on FD 2 early on, with, for example, an
opening of /dev/null if it's a bad file descriptor.

tar -xvf foo.tar 2>&-

Cheers, Ralph.
