 Is this still a problem?  I've tested it and it looks
 fixed in -CURRENT (as of a couple of years ago).
 
 (Of course, pax still can't handle entries >=8g,
 a limitation not present in bsdtar, star, or even
 gtar.  Maybe it's time to start on a libarchive-based
 pax implementation. ;-)
 
 If there are no objections, I'll close this.
