There is a problem with dpkg's implementation of tar archives with
long filenames, around 100 chars or so.  I think some of the star
directories get pretty long.  Check the length of files around that 42
meg boundary.

Klee - how difficult is this to fix?  Perhaps there is some nice tar
implementation out there we could just drop in?
