Not that I know of with tar, but depending on age, there's a 2Gb limit on fileutils, the kernel itself, the filesystem, or maybe glibc... all 4 have had it at one time... for what you cause a spontaneous reboot? I can't think of which would cause that... I've seen tar just stop dead and have to be killed when the file makes it to 2gb before, but not freeze.
Cheers,
