Looking around Bugzilla, I could not find a bug
relating to size of the .tar.gz file however I did
find bug #18043 which talks about garbage file names
being generated, which is similar to what I was
getting. The cause was that they forgot to <gunzip>
the .tar.gz file before <untar>ing it.
I knew that my .tar file had been compressed with gzip
and so I sent a compression="gzip" attribute in the
<untar> command but it still did not work?
As a workaround I am <gunzip> the .tar.gz file (to a
.tar file) and then <untar> the .tar file and
everything seems okay...
