This is a known issue.
I reported exactly the same thing, with a patch, to Jos a few weeks
ago,
and he replied that it was already known even then and was fixed in his
current dev version.
I've applied the patch from his dev version that fixes it as change
24935.
This patch was part of a list of fixes abe was working on for VMS. I've
not tested
them in the wild on various edge cases, but it all boils down to the
fact that
tar archives are unix paths (always) and the host OS may not be, so
appropriate
conversion has to be done at all times -- and we missed one.
I'm currnetly adding tests for just this sort of thing, in the hope
that even the
edge cases will be covered by them.
Steve, would it be acceptable to send you an RC every now and then to
see how it
behaves on win32, as i currently lack access to a box running this OS?
