judging from my mistakingly left debug output, the new option isn't  
turned on either, so in effect nothing changed...

what needs to happen to make this work with M::B is:
A) patch M::B to use the $Archive::Tar::DO_NOT_USE_PREFIX flag
B) create an archive with M::B from a dir structure with at least one  
file of > 100
	chars, like in:
	http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/K/KA/KAKE/Bot-BasicBot- 
Pluggable-Module-SimpleBlog-0.02.tar.gz
C) attempt to extract this file with your tar extractor of choice

it's my mistakingly left debug output... i've attached 1.08_02 that  
doesn't have this noise...
