( from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=346037 )
After creating a tar file using tar's --posix option, e.g.
$ touch foo
$ tar --posix -cf foo.tar foo
the tar viewer of mc shows a directory "PaxHeaders.<number>" that
contains some information, probably stuff that cannot placed in the
regular tar header.
Please consider hiding this internal information as the usual "tar -tf"
does. I admit that it's very hard to learn more about the posix (2001)
format.
