The SunOS version of tar has an "extended headers" -E option which is intended for use with longer path names and larger file sizes.
The format of the tar file changes, as tar -E no longer appends a "/" to directory names. All other tar formats I've seen add "/" at the end of directory names. This includes SunOS tar when used without the -E flag. For consistency, I propose to append the "/" to directory names if required when parsing a tar file.
