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.

This appears to be fixed in svn (and maybe in 1.6.1, I didn't look). If
not, please reopen. Attach example of an archive you cannot unpack, or
provide an URL to one.
