This is probably old hat now, and taken care of.  Just just FYI.

The new pax/tar also breaks trying to move the /usr/src tree (not
just packages made by people external to NetBSD):

(this is on 1.6i btw)

runabout# tar -cf /home/newsrc.tar src
runabout# rm -rf src
runabout# tar -xf /home/newsrc.tar
tar: Ignoring link containing `..' (../../../../arch/i386/include)
