possible bug

[ma...@sedonacorp.com]

i think i might have found a possible bug.  someone please verify this
one.
it seems that when you untar a file, the original permissions don't seem
to
be preserved.  I have a .tar.gz file of a tomcat distribution.  First,
the file is
ungzipped, and then untarred.  However, the bin/startup.sh  and all
other .sh
files  do not have the execute bit set, even though it is set in the
archive, and
in the directory structure from where it was tarred up.  For now, i'm
going to
chmod all the .sh scripts, but this should probably be fixed.

Speaking of the untar task, this is true.
