If you include PAX, be sure to test if you don't use a broken version
and first test it against the most common PAX bug desribed in:


ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/testscripts/README.paxbug 
and 
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/testscripts/not_a_tar_file 

(just created this one for Sun to demonstrate them a bug in their
PAX ;-)
