Anyway, I don't think the pax headers are to blame here.  The patch below
fixes the tar failures for me, but I'm not sure why.  There must be
something special about some (not all!) directory entries with trailing
slashes after directory names.

Several ZIP tests still fail, however, because NetBSD's unzip doesn't
seem to support (our flavour of) symlinks and streamed files.
Just FYI, I found that unzip that comes with base distro and the one
you can add via pkg_add (or pkgin) are different, and the latter
seemed to behave better.
