Gnu tar 1.11.1 does not set the ownership of extracted directories - no
matter whether you are root or how many preserve type options you add.

The included patch fixes this, but is just a very fast workround - ie I
haven't checked it in detail to make sure it doesn't break anything
else.  The code to do the chown is (obviously) stolen from slightly
further up the file (in the file extract code!).
