I downloaded the splint sources from splint.org
tar -zxf splint-3.0.1.6.src.tgz
generated
tar: Archive value 72141 is out of uid_t range 0..65535
...
tar: Archive value 72141 is out of uid_t range 0..65535
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
also, tried gunzipping it, and then tar -xf generated
similar messages.
This same file extracts perfectly on a linux machine.
Interestingly, splint installed OOB afterwards, and
all the checks were ok.
Thanks,
Kiran Prakash
