It was on RHEL6 in the UK zone

  $ grep -I zone /etc/sysconfig/clock
  ZONE=3D"Europe/London"
=20=20
with:

  $ rpm -q tar
  tar-1.23-11.el6.x86_64

There aren't any obviously-relevant patches in the tar package changelog.

I think it would be worth a note on the timestamps anyway to avoid
confusion and make sure they're maintained, if they should be.  (Excuse
me if that's done somewhere, but I just went to the current installation
instructions.)
