problem with long filenames

Hi,
        I found a problem with GNU tar-1.13, when using --delete command
upon an archive containing GNU long name extend header (GNUTYPE_LONGNAME,
GNUTYPE_LONGLINK). Sometimes, --delete will cause a coredump.
        It can be reproduced:
1. touch 111.... (long enough, say, 100 char)
2. touch 222....
3. tar -cf tmp.tar .
4. tar --delete -f tmp.tar ./222....
5. tar -tf tmp.tar ( 222... is there, 111... dispeared. )

Cheers,

-Sean
