exclude options

[K Scott Rowe]

my system is Slackware-7.0, Linux-2.2.18, i686.
I am trying to have tar exclude files from an archive.  Below are some
output examples.  The first is with version 1.13 and is incorrect
(it shouldnt backup the file "dontsave"), and the second is with
version 1.12 as is correct.  examples...

--- tar (GNU tar) 1.13 ---
bash$ tar cfv tmp.tar --exclude='/tmp/test/proc/*' -P /tmp/test
/tmp/test/
/tmp/test/proc/
/tmp/test/proc/dontsave
/tmp/test/save

--- tar (GNU tar) 1.12 ---
bash$ tar cfv tmp.tar --exclude='/tmp/test/proc/*' -P /tmp/test
/tmp/test/
/tmp/test/proc/
/tmp/test/save


I have similar problems using the "-X" option with exclude files.

thanx
