Untaring Xerces-J archive causes tar to generate huge erroneous files

           Summary: Untaring Xerces-J archive causes tar to generate huge
                    erroneous files
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/Xerces-J-
                    bin.2.3.0.tar.gz
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: justin@squinky.org


There must be a bug in the tar implementation because when I try to untar the
Xerces file ant hangs and starts producing huge files whose names and contents
appear to be a bunch of random data.  I untarred Xerces using redhat 8.0 tar and
retarred it and the files are slightly different sizes and it still generates
all kinds of random files.  Perhaps a bug reading the directory information?

This is the md5 hash of the offending Xerces file.
