  Modified:    gnu/usr.bin/tar  create.c
  Log:
  Gnu tar has problems creating an archive which contains a file with a hard
  link to another file which has a long (>=100 char) name.  When listing such
  an archive, the name of the link is truncated to 99 characters, and when
  extracting such an archive, an error is reported because it is trying to
  create a hard link to a file which doesn't exist.  This patch fixes that
  problem and has also been sent to the GNU maintainers.
  
  Closes PR#1992
