Not sure if it is possible to reopen a bug, but I have simliar
problems with another tarball:

    http://sunet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/hibernate/hibernate-distribution-3.3.2.GA-dist.tar.gz

    File hibernate-distribution-3.3.2.GA-dist.tar.gz is large (39MB), really open? (y or n) 
    uncompressing hibernate-distribution-3.3.2.GA-dist.tar.gz...done
    Parsing tar file...
    File mode specification error: (error "package org.hibernate.test.collection.idbag;

Note that the original tarball now opens fine, so I do have the bugfix
compiled in.  Again, this is on a 32-bit system.

Paul
