The issue is under investigation. The latest version on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/ is 1.13. The ones on ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/tar/ (and everything else on that site) are considered unstable. I suppose it's too late to suggest tar 1.13 as a starting point, but maybe this could be kept in mind when importing other GNU products. -- Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
