Good to hear that.

Bad that I didn't find that information by googling and searching 
on http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/.

But a little bit irritating that such a (in my eyes) severe bug remains 
for such a long time unfixed in the latest official release. By the way, 
GNU tar 1.28.90 works as expected correctly in my application cases.

Thanks
