Hi Guys,

According to the tar manpage:
      "The tar format has a rich history, dating back to Sixth Edition UNIX.
      The current implementation of tar is the GNU implementation, which origi-
      nated as the public-domain tar written by John Gilmore."


I found this little bug on GNU tar port on FreeBSD 4.5-sp2 (world)

tar tvf answers:

While truth is:

-rw-r--r--  1 laurent  smbusers  1317064704 Apr  1 12:39 OsgiliathC.mtf
-rw-r--r--  1 laurent  smbusers  2846836736 Apr  1 18:57 OsgiliathD.mtf
-rw-r--r--  1 laurent  smbusers  2655222784 Apr  2 00:11 OsgiliathE.mtf

Seems it is just a bad variable type problem to solve...

Hope this will help
