I agree with Charles that this ./sw is really %i, so spotlight shouldn't 
be to blame here. But *something* is changing these files while tar is 
doing its job. Is it possible (since we are on 2-processor machines 
here) that some thread of "make install" hasn't quite finished when 
dpkg-deb is already starting to wrap up? Since I haven't seen this error 
myself, I am just guessing around. It is hard to understand in which 
situation tar would produce the message, and harder again to generate 
such a situation deliberately.
