<untar> does not untar symbolic links properly

           Summary: <untar> does not untar symbolic links properly
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The <untar> task does not properly restore the symbolic link from the tar. On 
Unix (I tried on Linux and SGI), I created a tar with a symbolic link in it. I 
can untar this file fine with "tar xvf <file.tar>" command but using <untar> 
command, the links are created as regular files with 0 (zero) size.
