Tar file with 2 files in it: one with a 99 character path, the other with a 100 character path

I have come across a problem with smbclient 3.5.6 when I use the tar ‘x’ feature.
Pathnames that work out to be 100 characters long are extracted incorrectly:
bash-3.2$ tar tvf ugh.tar
-rw-r--r-- bdavis/Domain Users 137 2012-12-07 13:36:40 a50characterpathnameABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCD/a49characterpathnameABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABC
-rw-r--r-- bdavis/Domain Users 138 2012-12-07 13:37:11 a50characterpathnameABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCD/a50characterpathnameABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCD
bash-3.2$ smbclient --version
Version 3.5.6
bash-3.2$ smbclient //XXXXXXX/Temp30Day -U XXXXXX/bdavis
Enter XXXXXX/bdavis's password: 
Domain=[XXXXXXX] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2]
smb: \> cd bdavis
smb: \bdavis\> tar x ugh.tar
restore tar file \bdavis\a50characterpathnameABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCD\a49characterpathnameABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABC0000644 of size 137 bytes

  a50characterpathnameABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCD             138  Fri Dec  7 13:37:11 2012

                35000 blocks of size 4194304. 10651 blocks available
smb: \bdavis\a50characterpathnameABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCD\> exit

As you can see, the file with the 100 character pathname is extracted with its octal permissions concatenated to the name.
I’m attaching the tar file that I used.
I don’t know if this problem is fixed in a newer release of smbclient.

I am experiencing this problem as well.

Using smbclient 3.6.9-141.e16 on CentOS 6.2

I've created a bugfix which fixes the problem for me.  I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but I'm submitting this because it works:

This bug is fixed with Aurélien's rewrite of clitar to use libarchive, which will be released with Samba 4.2
