Correct end of tape marker
The POSIX standard for tar says that there must be at least two 512-bytes zero blocks at the end of the tar archive file. Our implementation would only emit a single 512-byte zero block if the size of the last file was in the range 18*512 through 19*512-1 (modulo 20*512). GNU tar would correctly unpack such tar archive file, but would emit a warning: tar: A lone zero block at 20
