In caio/st.c, the function stunload has the following problems:
1) It returns 1 if there was an error, but falls off the end of the
function if there are any errors.
2) None of the callers of this function check for an error return and
acts appropriately. This results in a hung process.
(The effects can be reproduced using the -u option in tar when tar wants
to update one specific file...)
