It would help if someone were to show us the offending file, though I
don't quite understand why there's something that appears to be either
a shell script or a perl script in /tmp.

As Lindsay pointed out, the patch in my previous post will break
*.deb viewer for those who have tar-1.11. Be very afraid and
do `dpkg -l tar` before applying the patch. :)
(patch works for tar-1.12-1)

it. If I copy the same fil

I am nearly certain that, some time back, I could put the cursor (in mc)
