I've seen a posting some time back that purported to fix a bug in gnu
tar that causes it to consider very long file names as mangled.

The filenames in our case are created by interleaf in the users
desktop.  The filenames are very long indeed.

Would someone repost this message, or email it to me?

Thanks
