Funny enough, I have a problem with the same file. I haven't got MacBSD running
yet, but the Mac installer crashes when I try to install this tar file.
And yes, I'm sure I transferred it in binary mode. I gunzipped it first on my
Sun Sparc, before transferring it (again in binary mode) to the Mac disk.
