I'm using cygwin on xp to unpack these distributions.
This is a known warning when using certain versions of GNU tar with
Ant-created tar files. See:

It looks like a serious error, but it's really just a warning. The
archive should be extractable, the jar files inside should verify.
I've verified that this is the case with the tar file linked above.
