Dear Bug-Administrator,
I have found a bug within the gnu tar utility.
The program was used under NT 4.0 with Service-Pack 6,
the tar-version prompts as follows:
> C:\>tar --version
> tar (GNU tar) 1.12
>
> Copyright (C) 1988, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Ok so far the system we are using, now comming to the bug:
Trying to archive a directory starting with a letter "B" or "b"
and located on "C:\", the program refuses to work.
It seems the there is a parsing problem within the file specification.
Here is a sample usage log:
> C:\>tar -cf test.tar c:\backup
> tar: Cannot add file cackup: No such file or directory
> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
>
> C:\>
I hope that this will help to improve the quality of our
maintenanced software.
