This is usually indicitive of Zope being unpacked with something other
than GNU tar.

You know, for the frequency this problem occurs you'd think something
could actually be done about it that would solve it forever.  Waiting
for all the versions of tar in the world to suddenly agree on how to
handle path names containing over 100 characters isn't a terribly
effective approach.  What would be really swift, is if Zope Corp just
restructured their code so there were no longer any paths that
exceeded said limit.
