Thanks for your bug report.  That bug is fixed in the latest test
version of GNU tar, which you can find at
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/tar/>.

future, with GNU tar or with any other GNU package, please send them
to <address@hidden>.

OK, I'll remove the `int rexec ();' in the next test release.

That problem is also fixed in the latest test release.
