Okay, two things you should know.

1) Busybox can't cause the kernel to panic unless there's something wrong
with your kernel.  We're in userspace.

2) I just extracted your file and it worked fine for me.  Didn't even have
an error.  Tried it with both busybox tar (no error) and gnu tar (warned me
about an implausibly old timestamp, but no error).
