Hello Joel, Gedare and others,

one patch to consider is the TAR fix

Untar_FromMemory breaks on create directory if they exists, even on root one.

https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2413

A patch is attached.

But I have failed to find time to prepare correctly
integrated minimal test case.

The patch is important for unpacking standard tar command generated
archives used for example by some of Microwindows tests.

I am not sure if use of stat command could make some applications
larger or its linking can cause other problem. As for it invocation,
it is used only in case where original code lead to untar
fail.

Best wishes,

               Pavel
