tar handles special files in /dev properly.

Don't bet your life on it.  GNU Tar (tm) will work most of the time on
most systems (read: non-linux), but NEVER assume tar will read device
entries correctly. (cpio is the "correct" tool.  dump is the Correct
Tool (tm).)

Attached is another trace that shows this corruption on a single
regular file copied with "cp" onto a fresh filesystem.
