It seems due to this problem I also don't have the nviz source after
uncompressing the tar.gz:

$ tar -tzvf grass-5.0.3rc2_src.tar.gz |grep -i nviz
- -rw-r--r-- neteler/ssi    5483 2002-01-25 07:45:33
grass-5.0.3rc2/html/html/nviz.html
- -rw-r--r-- neteler/ssi     222 2002-01-22 06:51:36
grass-5.0.3rc2/src/tcltkgrass/module/nviz
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

wget -c tells me this file is fully retreived. Could md5sums of rc
tarballs be published (as is done for final releases)? I get:
c992460c7c5d67c49ab258839b9ecda2  grass-5.0.3rc2_src.tar.gz

Buchan
