Does it mean that Mads Martin Joergensen fix will be applied ?
at least it allows to operate with multivolume tar and long
filenames as long as you place tapes/volumes in the correct
order when restoring. (i.e. the truncated filename can match
an incorrect tape but at least it is better than being unable
to untar) or maybe in a month all linux distributions
will be able to release the updated tar with planned multivolume 
extensions ?
Anyway Mads fix will allow to untar unnoticed broken multivolumes.
