Ok, I just upgraded (make reinstall) a 2.0.5 installation to -stable
and I'm seeing the pkg_add problem :

/mnt is the 2.0.5 CD, NFS mounted from another system.

# pkg_add -v mm-2.7.tgz
Requested space 573595 bytes, free space : 32101376 bytes in /var/instmp.000216
tar: can't open archive ./mm-2.7.tgz : No such file or directory
tar: child returned status 3
tar: +CONTENTS not found in archive
Unable to open table of contents file `+CONTENTS' - not a package?
1 package addition(s) failed.

If I give an explicit path to pkg_add, it works.  It looks like a stray
chdir() to me.
