--- Comment #17 from Sagi <sa...@redbend.com> ---
Hi,

I'm suffering from a similar problem, but in my case the file with the long
name is not a regular file but a soft link.
In my case the link name is very long and not the link full path (as in the
Testtar file).

I looked at tar source code and I think that the solution for this issue is not
complete.
Beside the definition for GNUTYPE_LONGNAME, 
there's a definition for GNUTYPE_LONGLINK, i.e. (from tar.h) :
  /* Identifies the *next* file on the tape as having a long linkname.  */
  #define GNUTYPE_LONGLINK 'K'

in my testcase the function TarEntry::isGNULongNameEntry returns FALSE
because linkFlag != LF_GNUTYPE_LONGNAME (linkFlag == (byte)'K')

I even noticed that there's no definition for LF_GNUTYPE_LONGLINK in
TarConstants.java

Thank you,
  Sagi.
