See if the the file with a UTF-8 filename gets extracted despite the
error message.

I have three different FreeBSD 9 system, one is ZFS and other two are
UFS. I can do 'make extract patch' on all of them for java/icedtea-web
without an error. They all report the same error though if I manually
view or extract the tar file, the files extract fine despite the error
message.
