Though if there are control
characters (like line feeds), would that cause a problem? Would that
make the standard PAX block reader code think that it has finished
reading the current key=value line and treat the rest of the string
as a new key=value entry? Or does the length field cover that?
I guess you'd have to try it with existing Tar code to see how it
is really done.
I have checked both gnutar and bsdtar - they handle multiline string
comments seamlessly. Looks like the length field has high priority.
