You probably need to upgrade to automake 1.9.6.
When I was packaging 1.4 the other night, I suddenly realised that whoever
added the slony docs ( :-p ), forgot to add them to makefile.am, so they
weren't included in the tarball. Having added them to the makefile, I
rebuilt the tarball only to get errors from tar about three of the slony
docs having too-long filenames, and find that the tarball itself way 12MB
instead of the normal 6!!
The tar-ustar option makes tar work in a mode in which 255 character names
are supported instead of the default 99. A one off upgrade to automake on
the /older/ developer systems seemed far less pain than manually renaming
the slony docs forever more.
