When you invoke "tar cfv <tarball> <files>", then tar will close all active file descriptors it has, forks, then opens the target tarball as fd 1 (stdout). Then, it'll exec "gzip -", which *inherits* a stdout which is a file. Now we duplicate this stdout if it's a regular file so that we can advise it later. (The original will be closed via the _exit() routine, probably, which uses direct syscall that we cannot intercept.)
