Package: mc
Version: 1:4.6.0-4.6.1-pre3-3sarge1
Severity: normal

After creating a tar file using tar's --posix option, e.g.
$ touch foo
$ tar --posix -cf foo.tar foo
the tar viewer of mc shows a directory "PaxHeaders.<number>" that
contains some information, probably stuff that cannot placed in the
regular tar header.

Please consider hiding this internal information as the usual "tar -tf"
does. I admit that it's very hard to learn more about the posix (2001)
format.

By the way, this system is Debian sarge, the problem still exists in
current etch (mc 4.6.1-1).
