Ronald,

You might want to run this under strace and search the output for "aux"...
See if that provides any clues.  Another thing to try is to create a STC
by "touch"ing a file called "aux.c" in a managed directory, then taring it
into, say, test.tar, and then trying to untar it.  My guess is that
compression has nothing to do with this problem, so you can try creating
an uncompressed tar first.  If you can reproduce the problem on this
smaller tar archive, an strace (bzipped) should be of a manageable size to
post, and would likely be helpful (to CGF if noone else) in finding the
problem.
