That's how I found it. tar xfp will almost never work as an ordinary user on a
system like this.
I don't think it is in Solaris: for my sins (which must be many, clearly) I've
spent a lot of time running Solaris systems and I can't remember them allowing this.
My memory of SunOS (as in 4 or earlier) systems is too vague to be sure though I am sure
tar xfp worked, so probably they did not do this either: must have been some other system
I used (Masscomps?)
