>Description:
	If one creates a tar ball which contains files in a
	subdirectory, but not the subdirecory itself, tar will create
	the subdirectory when extracting the files. The problem is
	that, if -p is given, the directory will be created 0777,
	ignoring the curren umask. This can be very unfortunate if one
	stores precious information in the subdirectory.
>How-To-Repeat:
	mkdir tmp1
	chmod 0755 tmp1
	cd tmp1
	touch foobar
	chmod 0644 foobar
	cd ..
	tar cf foobar.tar tmp1/foobar
	# Note! Input is just the file, not the entire dir!
	ls -lgd tmp1

	umask 022
	mkdir tmp2
	cd tmp2
	tar xvpf ../foobar.tar
	# Note! tar has to create tmp1, but it's not in the tar ball.
	ls -lgd tmp1
>Fix:
	Not known.
