Bug Description
Use tar -xpf untar a tar.bz2 archive.
Non-empty folders will lose original timestamps and show date/time of extraction.
The exception will be the top folder which will have its original timestamp retained.
Empty folders and files are processed correctly and retain original timestamps.

tar -xpf functions correctly with 64-bit 12.04 but not with 64-bit 12.10 (Different partitions but same hardware)
Have changes to the kernel broken it or are Unity changes the cause?
