Found the cause:

	header = (const struct archive_entry_header_ustar *)h;
	size  = tar_atol(header->size, sizeof(header->size));
	if ((size > 1048576) || (size < 0)) {
		archive_set_error(&a->archive, EINVAL,
		    "Special header too large");
		return (ARCHIVE_FATAL);
	}

Open source software has its advantages. :3

#macOS


I wonder what header this is. 🤔 #macOS
tar: Special header too large: %llu
tar: Child process exited with status 70
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
