Earlier, we used the mode to determine if a name was associated with
a directory. This fails, since some tar programs do not set the mode
correctly. However, the link indicator _has_ to be set correctly.
Nah, what was I smoking. Even gtar seems to give mode="0000775"
(with NUL termination) for directories, so there is no way there
were regressions. Patch looks good.
