A fellow Debian user managed to create a tar.gz file that is 2.6GB in
size on a FAT32 partition. Of course now he can't get anything to read
the thing to extract some data from it. Is there any solution for this
problem?

He's got the debian-user list stumped and I thought there might be
more hope for help from the Kernel gurus here.

He's tried all the possible combinations, e.g.,

tar xzvf file.tgz
gunzip -c file.tgz|tar xf -
cat file.tgz|gunzip -c|tar xf -

Thanks,
Gary
