Yeah.  What MIME type does Apache report to IE?  How much do you want
to bet that it reports application/x-gzip instead of application/x-tar?
I'd also bet that when IE sees the MIME type in the HTTP headers, it
then slaps the extension it (Windows) wants on the end if it isn't
already there.  However, Mozilla behaves and leaves the name as it
was, regardless of the MIME type.

Just goes to show -- two wrongs don't really make a right :-).
