I've just got a bug report about tar-mode on Windows.
Here's the translation of the report (original in Japanese)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
On Windows, when we edit a tar file in tar-mode, the file is
broken.  It seems that this is because
default-buffer-file-coding-system is japanese-shift-jis-dos,
and thus this eol-conversion takes effect on writing a tar
file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

At the moment, I'm too busy to verify that report.  But, if
this bug really exists, it should be fixed before the
release, and I believe the fix is not that difficult.
