There is no problem for standard tar file distributions (such as the
OpenUp distribution), but OmniWeb relies on the extended GNU tar
format because some of its pathnames are too long for the standard
tar format. Unfortunately, StuffIt Expander apparently doesn't
understand the gnutar format, but it goes ahead and tries to unpack
anyway, leading to a corrupt distribution of OmniWeb which won't
launch.
We're exploring other packaging alternatives to avoid this problem
in the future.
