tar won't extract all files when a file with exe extension precedes the same without extension inside the archive

[Steven Hartland]

Quite an old issue, its due to the special handling of .exe files if you search the archives you'll find lots of mentions of it.

$ touch myfile myfile.exe



$ tar -cvf mytar.tar myfile.exe myfile



$ tar -xvf mytar.tar



Only myfile will be written to the filesystem
