Investigation confirms this is an AIX platform limitation, not a Maven bug. The Maven binary tar.gz is a standards-compliant POSIX ustar archive (no filenames exceed 99 chars). AIX's native `/usr/bin/tar` has known issues with valid POSIX archives (IBM documented limitation). GNU tar (`/opt/freeware/bin/tar`) handles it correctly. **Workarounds:** Use GNU tar on AIX, or use the `.zip` distribution instead. Not a Maven regression — not blocking RC-6. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
