checksum error in source tarball

I downloaded the source tarball (from 
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/5.02.2/ghc-5.02.2-src-
1.tar.bz2) and
bunzip2-ed it, but trying to untar (with tar xvf) it 
gives me:

.
x ghc-5.02.2/ghc/InstallShield/Setup Files/Compressed 
Files/Language
Independent/OS Independent, 0 bytes, 0 tape blocks
tar: directory checksum error

I repeated all that and it failed the same way.
