I downloaded the splint sources from splint.org
tar -zxf splint-3.0.1.6.src.tgz generated tar: Archive value 72141 is out of uid_t range 0..65535 ... tar: Archive value 72141 is out of uid_t range 0..65535 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors also, tried gunzipping it, and then tar -xf generated similar messages. This same file extracts perfectly on a linux machine. Interestingly, splint installed OOB afterwards, and all the checks were ok.
