gnutar1.12 -xzpkf does not preserve file attributes on windows bug.

[Czura, Wojtek]

Hi,

Using a Cygwin port of GNU tar 1.12 in a multi-platform environment, we
noticed that on windows (Windows NT 4.0), the option -k causes archive files
to loose their attributes, especially Read-Only one:
	gnutar -xzpf file 	- works fine
	gnutar -xzsf file		- works fine
	gnutar -xzf file		- works fine
	gnutar -xzpkf file	- changes Read-Only files to Read-Write file
on Windows.

Is it a bug or an intended behavior?? If it is a bug, are there ways around
it?

Best regards and good luck,
