Was the 2.3b2 tarfile generated in such a way that it requires GNU tar? I'm unable to extract it on a Solaris 8 system using /usr/bin/tar. It gunzips fine and I can extract it on my Mac OS X system, but on Solaris I get, "tar: directory checksum error" and fine a truncated directory tree. I've also verified that the files downloaded to the Mac and the Solaris box have the same checksum. Skip
