To me that smells of GNU tar. The Qt tar file was probably created with 
GNU tar, which uses a non-standard (Single Unix Standard to be precise) 
extension for long file names. Solaris tar, which is standard, can't 
extract these files.

If you have gtar in /usr/sfw/bin (or /opt/sfw/bin - not sure on Solaris 
9) that should be able to unpack the file e.g. with something like

gzcat [tar file] | gtar xvf -

A+
