[Bug-tar] incorrect results extracting...

[Nigel Kukard]

I backed up a directory with mode 0000 permissions with...  tar
-cvf /tmp/test.tar /vservers

address@hidden store1]# whoami
root

Here is a   tar -tvf /tmp/test.tar  ... its correct

Here is a    tar -xvf /tmp/test.tar   ... notice the permissions are
horribly wrong!

Using CPIO it extracts correctly with   cpio -vi < /tmp/test.tar
