Thanks for a detailed bug report.
It looks like the file was downloaded correctly.

We probably built the tarfile using GNU tar.  
Sun's tar has problems dealing with tarfiles generated by GNU tar.

If possible, can you try untarring using GNU tar (often available as
'gtar')?

If that does the trick, we can try to find a more portable version of
tar for building the tarfile.
