The tar -x command in busybox does not restore the file mode correctly. The reason is most probably this code in archival/libunarachive/data_extract_all.c: chmod(file_header->name, file_header->mode); chown(file_header->name, file_header->uid, file_header->gid); chown clears the set*id bits (on current versions of linux :). Flipping the order around fixes the problem. (tested with 1.00pre3 from cvs).
