It ends up in a prompt, and installation stops.
The problem seems to be a volume problem in the distfile. Adding "-O"
to the pax flags fixes the problem (see patch below).
See also PR pkg/18814, bsd.pkg.mk has a "dd hack" to avoid pax
stopping for broken archives. It seems that it would be a good idea to
replace that with "-O" now, as suggested in the PR. But obviously this
wouldn't help here, since the Makefile invokes pax directly.
