It's the same with 8.0-CURRENT-200807-i386-disc1.iso.  Even GNU cpio
doesn't eat the files (for example base.??):

cpio: Malformed number 000755 
cpio: Malformed number 000000

file(1) says the uncompressed data looks like a POSIX tar archive, and
GNU tar can uncompress it alright:

While GNU cpio shows something completely different:

Those permissions look weird... and the entries after .cshrc are
seriously screwed up.
