Hi,

I'm doing some fixes in KDE's ark (GUI for various commandline 
compress/decompress-utils). One thing i noticed while doing this is that tar is 
unable to extract specific files with [ in the name.

Testcase:
touch \[test
tar cf test.tar \[test     # works
rm \[test                  # move it out of the way
tar xf test.tar \[test     # doesn't work

This was tested with bash 3.0 and tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1

Best regards
Alexander Rigbo
