[Bug-tar] problem when extracting from a gnu tar file on Win2000.

[carriery]

This problem started after
I installed service pack 4 on the machine.

I can create an archive using  the
command:  gnutar -zcvf   myarchive.tgz    File.txt
I can read the archive   using
the command     gnutar -ztvf   myarchive.tgz

But I cannot extract the archive unless
I indicate NOT to extract modification times...


And I cannot remove the SP4 from the
computer ( did not backup -- ok I will learn from it ... )


below is screen capture from console.

C:\once>gnutar -zcvf myarchive.tgz
File.txt
File.txt

C:\once>gnutar -ztvf myarchive.tgz
-rw-r--r-- user/dos

C:\once>gnutar -zxvf myarchive.tgz
File.txt
gnutar: File.txt: Could not change access
and modification times: Input or outpu
t error (EIO)
gnutar: Error exit delayed from previous
errors

C:\once>gnutar -zmxvf myarchive.tgz
File.txt

C:\once>type file.txt
Simple file has one sentence.
