TAR does not have enough EOF blocks #13

@dsoprea

Description

@dsoprea

WriteEofBlock() only writes one empty record to represent EOF. Wikipedia's entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(computing)) states the following:

The end of an archive is marked by at least two consecutive zero-filled records.

As a result, these TARs may experience compatibility problems.
