tar misbehavior? V1.13.19 and V1.13.25 |

In vversions V1.13.19 and V1.13.25 a(as packaged by Redhat in rh7.1 and
rh7.3) I get diferent results when doing:
/bin/gtar --one-file-system -V
"VOLUME-LABEL:sysbak-crust-system-0-20021229-163236" -g
/var/local/sysbak/system/sysbak-crust-system-snapshot.tmp -czvf
/dev/null --exclude "/cdrom/*" --exclude "/floppy" --exclude "/home"
--exclude "/proc" --exclude "/afs" --exclude "/pub" / /boot
/spare/700mb /tmp /usr /var
-and- (notice order of dir list)
/bin/gtar --one-file-system -V
"VOLUME-LABEL:sysbak-crust-system-0-20021229-163236" -g
/var/local/sysbak/system/sysbak-crust-system-snapshot.tmp -czvf
/dev/null --exclude "/cdrom/*" --exclude "/floppy" --exclude "/home"
--exclude "/proc" --exclude "/afs" --exclude "/pub" /usr /boot
/spare/700mb /tmp / /var
Both begin with a clean (nonexistant) snapshot file, When "/" is first
in list of slices to archive, _ONLY_ slash is processed. when "/" is
elsewhere, archiving stops after tar reaches slash. In short it apears
that tar stops processing when it reaches slash in a list of arguments.
This ONLY happens with the combination of -g and --one-file-system
Is this a known issue, or am i doing something wrong?
