On building perl 2.18 ftped from tut, I get part aa to af and use the following command: cat perl.tar*a? | zcat | gnutar xf - & to create a perl directory, in the directory t I noticed one file being truncated, (op.flip) since it gives error on TEST. I did it again replace gnutar by tar (on sun4), the file is ok from tar. The problem is repeated once to make sure the gnutar did truncated the file. I don't know if there are other files being truncated. gnutar is compiled by gcc 1.35.
