Victor, you misunderstood the pax definition, but it wouldn't harm tarfile if it knew how to handle these corrupt GNU tar archives. In the meantime I filed a bug report on bug-tar@gnu.org for this. I said in msg105085 that POSIX gives no advice on how to handle broken filename encodings, but it does in POSIX:2008. libarchive (bsdtar) uses the way that is described there. The solution is to use a field called "hdrcharset". See http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/pax.html
