Please see a test tarball attached below. It is correctly created with
GNU tar, but opening it in Emacs displays the following message:

Also its file listing is incomplete, file names are truncated, and content
of some files is inserted into the file listing in the tar-mode buffer.
I thought your patch will fix these problems.
