>Description:
When attempting to tar a larger than 2GB file, tar immediately returns, having created 10240 byte file.
tar tvf file.tar reveals that file size is inidcated as negative!
>How-To-Repeat:
Create >2gb file
tar cvf file.tar 2gbfile.data
tar tvf file.tar
>Fix:
Probably 32bit integers used inside tar & cpio when calculating filesizes.
