I have some little problems extracting the rc2 tar.gz under netbsd.
It extracts fine, but there are little errors, for instance, with tar
or pax:
$ tar zxf kaffe-1.1.7-rc2.tar.gz
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.

With gnu tar (GNU tar 1.15.1), i get :
$ gtar zxf kaffe-1.1.7-rc2.tar.gz

While the files extract fine, it would be nice to get rid of those
warnings, maybe by using pax instead of a too recent gnu tar
(iirc, gnu tar 1.15.90 changed the timestamp header support) for
creating the archive.

Best regards,
