I tarred up the elementtree-jython trunk on my server using:

tar --atime-preserve -czvf et-jython.tar.gz jython-elementtree-trunk

I then downloaded it and tried to unpack it, which threw the following 
warnings:

tar: jython-elementtree-trunk/build/lib/elementtree/ElementTree.py: time 
stamp 2030-11-07 16:42:11 is 692845574 s in the future
tar: jython-elementtree-trunk/build/lib/elementtree/TidyTools.py: 
implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 01:00:00

tar: jython-elementtree-trunk/build/lib/xml/parsers/__init__.py: 
implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 01:00:00

So there's definitely something weird going on there. I attached that 
same tarball, I hope it helps solving this bug.. I have no idea how 
those timestamps became so screwed up, the time is and always has been 
correct on my server afaik. So I'm guessing Jython did something weird 
with the timestamps when trying to build the package? Just guessing..
