Interesting. Do you know if that is because of a Solaris limit on path size or because of a limit imposed by a particular file system? What file system are you using?
It is because tar from solaris doesn't handle a extension to the tar format that allows path names of unlimited size.
Looking at Wikipedia, it seems that the original tar file format has a maximum path length of 100 characters, so I guess that's what we're hitting?
