After upgrading to 6-CURRENT from November 10, I found bsdtar cannot
archive files with setuid bits anymore.  When creating my archive, I see
this:

a bin/kenv
a bin/kill
a bin/ln
a bin/link
a bin/ls
a bin/mkdir
a bin/mv
a bin/pax
a bin/ps
a bin/pwd
a bin/rcp: (null)

Then the archive stops dead (exit value is 1).  The same problem occurs
for all setuid files.  bsdtar from October 14 is fine.  I am trying to
create the archive as root.

This problem can be reproduced by:

# cd /tmp
# tar cvf xxx.tar /bin/rcp
