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

files as delimiters.
While working on a tool that processes Erlang code and testing it against this repo,
I found out about those little sneaky 0xff. I thought it may be of help to other
people build such tools to remove non-conforming-to-standard characters.

erl_tar:extract earlier failed when unpacking inside a directory which
had some parent directory to which the user had no read access. This
is corrected.
