>Description:
On NetBSD/sparc64 5.0.1 pax reports problems about unknown file type
and GNU extensions while extracting pkgsrc-2009Q2.tar.gz.

A diff between the resulting directory and a directory extracted with
GNU tar shows

  # diff -ur pkgsrc-pax pkgsrc-gtar
  Only in pkgsrc-pax/archivers/libarchive/files/libarchive/test: 
test_read_format_gtar_sparse_1_17_posix10_modifie
  Only in pkgsrc-gtar/archivers/libarchive/files/libarchive/test: 
test_read_format_gtar_sparse_1_17_posix10_modified.tar.uu

>How-To-Repeat:
- download pkgsrc-2009Q2.tar.gz
- use pax on NetBSD/sparc64 5.0.1
  # pax -zrf pkgsrc-2009Q2.tar.gz 
  pax: Trying to read GNU tar archive with GNU extensions and end-of-volume 
checks off
  pax: GNU Long File found in posix ustar archive.
  pax:  has an unknown file type, skipping
  pax: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
