Summary:                    tar does not handle spaces for numbers correctly
Description: 
It is allowed for tar archives to use spaces before and after numbers in
headers. Busybox's strtol does not skip them (there is a comment in the
sources, but why?). I made a hotfix in tar only, but up to you to propose
a propper solution.
