Hello. The "cut" (version 2.0.21) might have a bug with
  cut -f 6- -d ' '
as it counts each ' ' as a field. That makes impossible to
cut columns out of "tar tvf" listings.

Example: the input file is
a b c
a  b c
a   b c
cat test | cut -d ' ' -f 2-  gives
b c
 b c
  b c
instead of
b c
b c
b c

Regards,
Juhana
