Inconsistent list output

[Ingo Brückl]

Please do:

# mkdir test
# dd if=/dev/zero of=test/file bs=1000 count=1
# chown 123456:123456 -R test
# tar cf t1.tar test
# tar tvf t1.tar
drwxr-xr-x 123456/123456     0 2022-09-08 03:06 test/
-rw-r--r-- 123456/123456  1000 2022-09-08 03:06 test/file

Normal output as it should be. Now:

# chown 1234567:1234567 -R test
# tar cf t2.tar test
# tar tvf t2.tar
drwxr-xr-x 1234567/1234567   0 2022-09-08 03:06 test/
-rw-r--r-- 1234567/1234567 1000 2022-09-08 03:06 test/file

Oops! First line columns are no longer aligned. And:

# chown 12345678:12345678 -R test
# tar cf t3.tar test
# tar tvf t3.tar
drwxr-xr-x 12345678/12345678 0 2022-09-08 03:06 test/
-rw-r--r-- 12345678/12345678 1000 2022-09-08 03:06 test/file

Output has become even worse.
