Re: tar's on DragonFly

For some unknown reason both libarchive tar and gtar are broken on
DragonFly - they are preserving permissions of extracted files (like in
case of -p) if executed by root.
It doesn't seem to affect a lot of cases (you rarely run tar as root etc),
but breaks hell a lot of pkgsrc packages.
Solaris 10 has this exact behaviour - running 'tar' as root implies '-p'.
AFAIK 'tar' is not standardized, so packages that rely on tar being GNU
tar or some such are themselves broken.
