tar does not use --same-owner for SYSTEM user

[Kevin Till]

Hi,

I'm running GNU tar 1.5.1 on cygwin version 2.510.2.2 (Window XP).

Running tar to restore files, owner information is not preserved. That's: all restored 
files are owned by SYSTEM.
I suspect that tar is not recognizing SYSTEM user on cygwin/windowXP as superuser. Does 
anyone have the same experience or a workaround for it?


info tar:

`--same-owner'
      Create extracted files with the same ownership they have in the
      archive.

      This is the default behavior for the superuser, so this option is
      meaningful only for non-root users,
