I've added the (GNU-specific) -d '\n' so it doesn't fail with archive members that contain whitespace or quoting characters, but newline characters are still a problem.

It's also a bit dangerous in that chmod follows symlinks. So if a user is tricked into unpacking an archive that contains a symlink to ~/.profile for instance, that would have bad consequences.
