Ok, found a cute bug in tar today
I have two files, "test" and "tset" in a tar+gzip archive
test contains "Hurray! we are testing tar!!!"
and tset contains "!!!rat gnitset era ew !yarruH"

# Busybox
$ cat ../test.tar.gz | gunzip -c - | tar -Oxf - test
Hurray! we are testing tar!!!
!!!rat gnitset era ew !yarruH
$

# GNU
$ cat ../test.tar.gz | gunzip -c - | tar -Oxf - test
Hurray! we are testing tar!!!
$
