Archive_Tar which is used by pecl and pear (`pecl install`) uses unpack with the "a" format character. On 5.4 it strips trailing NUL bytes, on 5.5 it does not. There is a new "Z" format character that can be used to get the old behaviour. The point is, this change broke pecl, and will likely break many other things in existence. > > Anthony has asked me to post to internals, so that you can re-visit the issue and perhaps consider not breaking BC. > > If you decide that you want to keep the BC break, I will gladly submit a patch for Archive_Tar.
