Hmmm. Good guess but ... I'm using both WinZip and GNU gzip/tar for

The GNU files I have are datestamped 1994 but it's only recently that
they seem to be struggling. And all problems are only in this
Archive::* context. When run by themselves (tar, gzip) everything is
fine. I'd better upgrade Compress::ZLib now too.
Anyway, WinZip and GNU agree that the files have no paths, so if you
can see paths and I can't there is definitely a problem and it's
definitely somewhere!
I've traced through M::B and A::Tar; the path information is definately
being written to the tar file, but there must be some disagreement
between these programs on the tar file spec. What happens if you run:
ptar xvzf file.tar.gz
