 yep same issue here, assuming it means Tar header field for UID is too
 small for my UID (since I'm on LDAP):

 {{{
 ator-abc:~ atora$
 ator-abc:~ atora$ echo 'asd;fkajsdf;lkajsflaksjfal;kjf;asljfadj' >
 test.txt
 ator-abc:~ atora$ cat test.txt
 asd;fkajsdf;lkajsflaksjfal;kjf;asljfadj
 ator-abc:~ atora$ pax -x tar -w test.txt > test.tar
 pax: Tar header field is too small for test.txt
 ator-abc:~ atora$
 }}}
