tar 1.11 on a Sun 4 running SunOS 4.1.1 (compiled with gcc 2.2.2)
can't read the following foo.tar.Z file, if I say

tar xzf foo.tar.Z

If I uncompress it myself first, tar xf works fine.

Here is the error I get (a bunch of text from the middle of one of the
files in the archive; there is no file `ited', either).  Following that
(after a ^L) is foo.tar.Z, uuencoded.

tar xzf foo.tar.Z
tar: couldn't change access and modification times of ited
