>Description:
	This probably also affects other versions.

	When unpacking source/sets/xsrc.tgz (MD5 (xsrc.tgz) = e52572e7f911ca5952d025a2689760a9) in /usr *with tar*, in addition to /usr/xsrc, the directory /usr/xfree is also created.

	This is probably the real cause of NetBSD Problem Report #15491, which apparantly has been closed because the real error was not discovered then.

easy:../sets $ pax -z -f xsrc.tgz |grep -v ^xsrc
easy:../sets $ tar ztf xsrc.tgz |grep -v ^xsrc   
xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/XpConfig/C/print/models/SPSPARC2/fonts/NewCenturySchlbk-BoldItalic.pmf

	The tar used is /usr/bin/tar (GNU tar version 1.11.2)
	pax is /bin/pax

>How-To-Repeat:
	Unpack xsrc.tgz with tar
>Fix:
	Well, the obvious workaround:
	Unpack xsrc.tgz with pax

	However, something which is presumably a tar archive *should* unpack correctly with tar, IMHO.

	Perhaps when creating archives, tar ztf should be used to verify that correct unpacking with tar is possible.

	As I seem to have succesfully re-packed the unpacked xsrc with tar, this is probably indicative of a bug in how pax (presuming pax was originally used to make the archive) creates tar files. I know next to nothing about different tar formats, so if the problem is related to GNU tar being non-standard, so be it. I still think a .tar.gz or .tgz file should unpack correctly with tar, though.
