Description:
------------
openssl signature verification is broken for tar archives, and will be broken in PHP 5.3.0.  This patch can be used for those who can't wait until PHP 5.3.1.

Alternately, HEAD of php-src/ext/phar can be used, or pecl/phar, as they are synchronized with php5/ext/phar

Reproduce code:
