Subject: tar 1.13.19-1: extraction of a .tar file results in 1312 lines of "tar: Archive value 72141 is out of uid_t range 0..65535"

I downloaded the splint sources from splint.org

tar -zxf splint-3.0.1.6.src.tgz

generated

tar: Archive value 72141 is out of uid_t range 0..65535
...
tar: Archive value 72141 is out of uid_t range 0..65535
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

also, tried gunzipping it, and then tar -xf generated 
similar messages.

This same file extracts perfectly on a linux machine.

Interestingly, splint installed OOB afterwards, and 
all the checks were ok.

Thanks,
Kiran Prakash
