Submitted-by: hue@netcom.uucp (Jonathan Hue)
Posting-number: Volume 90, Issue 171
Archive-name: unix/tar/patch01/part01
[ a patch to the executable is also included. ...tad ]
I found a serious bug in the tar program that was posted to
comp.sources.amiga and comp.binaries.amiga (my fault, I ported it, I
introduced the bug). Tar will sometimes guru when extracting tar files
created on other machines. If anyone has found any other bugs, please
report them to me. When all the bugs that need fixing are found and
fixed I will release a new version.

# it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file". To overwrite existing
# files, type "sh file -c". You can also feed this as standard input via
# unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g.. If this archive is complete, you

Xbinary patch you can apply with NewZap. Go to sector 51 and type
Xin the replacement. Here are the diffs, there are 16 bytes, address on

XI tried it, it produces a binary identical to the fixed version and it
Xextracts foreign tar files properly.
