Package: tar
Version: 1.3-16

A tar.gz archive containing "." will overwrite permissions on the current
directory.

For example, a "cd /tmp && tar zxvf big-archvive.tar.gz" could later lead
to unexplained program crashes because the sticky bit permissions on /tmp
have been removed.

Is this behaviour intended? I can see that Fedora does not have this feature.
