Peace, brother... Err, pax(1).

-bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS tb3 5.10 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
-bash-3.00$ bunzip2 -c Python-2.4.2.tar.bz2 |pax -r
pax: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype

This message refers to the links in
Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/ide

Apart from that, pax extracts it the same way as gtar.
