Sebb commented on COMPRESS-181:
-------------------------------
The problem field is the modification time for the symbolic link, which
Compress expects to be either all null or valid octal with trailing null/space.
Note: 7zip reads the file OK but complains that there is data after the end of
the archive.
It treats the link field as having no mtime.
I've yet to find any documentation that says a leading null is allowed.
Perhaps AIX tar is being lazy and failing to null the whole mtime field (which
Compress could handle).
