Chuck is right; MacOSX has (always, I believe) shipped bsdtar.

MacOS X switched to bsdtar around 10.6.  Earlier versions shipped with

gnutar, but that was before the move to GPLv3 in gnutar v1.18.

Perhaps your tar is from Homebrew or Macports?

Indeed, a reasonable guess...I believe that Sean was running a gnutar

built from such a system, so the bug report was apropos to this list.
