Hi, all.

I have a question about untarring some archives.
My environment is as follows:

1. NAND/MTD/Yaffs

2. tar command used 
   # tar jxf patch.tar.bz2 -C /

3. error occurred as follows
   # etc/rc.d/init.d/network: Cannot open: No such device or address

4. ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/network
   # srw-rw-rw-    1 root     root            0 May 11 00:34 network
   
Almost files in the archives are already in the filesystem. So to
untar patch.tar.bz2
is to overwrite them. (Many files are executing and many files are
already open by
some processes.) I know this is the bad environment. But I don't know
why normal files
are changed to "SOCKET" file.

I have tried some other combinations of tar command, but fails.
Everytime I tried, the failed files are different.

Is there any opinion about this?
Any comments appreciated.
