Thanks.  I found this item on the Haskell website:

    http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/hugs-bugs/2002-November/001045.html

Looks like Solaris (<= 8) tar has a pathname limit of 80 characters.  Should
we try and squeeze the Python directory tree into that limit or simply tell
people to use GNU tar if their tar barfs?
