tar crash when filenames greaterthan 14 characters?

[young at hamavnet.com]

My first time on so be easy!

I am running Unix System V and I have a tape that was made via tar on a DEC
Ultrix system.  When I tar in the files the ones with more than fourteen
characters cause the utility to bomb with an error.   Should not I just get
truncated files.  This is System V (3.2).

Thanks.
