Hello. I have found that many times the tar command fails giving this error:

*
root at roby-neo:~# tar xvzf AccelGame.tar.gz
tar: corrupted octal value in tar header*

Asking to the busybox guys they told me that busybox should be compiled with
this option turned on:

*"Enable FEATURE_TAR_OLDGNU_COMPATIBILITY in your .config"
*

So, i just report hoping that somebody can fix this.
