Re: PHP documentor archive corrupted

This is probably a bug in cygwin's tar command. Remember the Archive_Tar bug that plagued beta 1? original tar format does not support paths longer than 99 characters. If you could successfully untar and retar on linux, that should point the blame not at the archive, but at the cygwin tar command. It is not a windows error, as winzip reads and extracts the archive with no problems whatsoever.
