I've pulled down the gnu cpio from a prep mirror, and it seems to
be able to cope with the format (also, it's supposed to try
to recover from errors).  However, it gave a rather odd sequence
of errors:

/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists
/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists
/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists
/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists
/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists
/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists/usr/local/bin/cpio: ././@LongLink not created: newer or same age version exists

My gess is that the first of these corresponds to the entry where
solaris tar gave up.
