You'll have to use bzip2 -d to decompress the file manually. I had a similar
problem when I ported sort 7.6. Windows can't fork like nix and so there was
no easy way for me to enable compression. There is a proprietary fork for Windows
but I forget who makes it, and also it doesn't really fork, it just fakes some
process stuff and that isn't always good enough. The compile of sort I put out
does not use compression, and I'm guessing Kees did the same thing here with
tar:

tar: Cannot fork: Function not implemented
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
