[Bug-tar] filenames containing ascii > 127 don't unpack on Mac OS X

[Alexander Z.]

A tar file containing files whose names contain characters
in the upper half of char range don't unpack correctly on Mac OS X,
making tar archives non-portable between, say, FreeBSD or Cygwin 
and Mac OS.

Reason: Mac OS filesystem calls (open, utime, etc.) expect
filenames in UTF-8 and fail when passed raw UFS filenames.
No conversion is attempted by tar.

Sample tar file is attached.

Thank you!
