On HP-UX 11.x you hit the same problem than on Solaris, with a bit=20
different error message:

bash-2.05a$ /usr/bin/tar xf Python-2.3b2.tar
tar: ././@LongLink - cannot create
tar: ././@LongLink - cannot create
=2E..

I've run into the same problem with our in-house software - my=20
solution was to use HP-UX 11.x tar to create the archive, both GNU=20
tar and posix tar will correctly unpack it.
