System: NetBSD nemeton.com.au 1.4_ALPHA NetBSD 1.4_ALPHA (NEMETON-WD0) #0: Tue Aug 24 07:59:39 EST 1999 giles@nemeton.com.au:/usr/src-1.4_ALPHA/sys/arch/i386/compile/NEMETON-WD0 i386


>Description:
	GNU tar 1.11.2 and also 1.13 have a bug listing files in a tar
	archive ("ustar" format) where a directory has a non-zero size.

	Actual extraction of the files is not effected, just listing.

>How-To-Repeat:
        Obtain a ustar format archive which contains a diretcory with
	a non-zero size.  A suitable test file is:

	ftp://cr.yp.to/dnscache/dnscache-0.75.tar.gz

	tar tvf dnscache-0.75.tar
	drwxr-xr-x 0/0           11264 Jan 18 01:53 2000 dnscache-0.75
	-rw-r--r-- 0/0            2243 Jan 18 01:53 2000 dnscache-0.75/TARGETS
	...

	Note that some files are missing from the listing.

	pax -v -f dnscache-0.75.tar
	drwxr-xr-x  2 root     wheel      11264 Jan 18 01:53 dnscache-0.75
	-rw-r--r--  1 root     wheel        177 Jan 18 01:53 dnscache-0.75/README
	-rw-r--r--  1 root     wheel        435 Jan 18 01:53 dnscache-0.75/TODO
	-rw-r--r--  1 root     wheel       3268 Jan 18 01:53 dnscache-0.75/CHANGES
	-rw-r--r--  1 root     wheel         14 Jan 18 01:53 dnscache-0.75/VERSION
	-rw-r--r--  1 root     wheel       2462 Jan 18 01:53 dnscache-0.75/FILES
	-rw-r--r--  1 root     wheel         98 Jan 18 01:53 dnscache-0.75/SYSDEPS
	-rw-r--r--  1 root     wheel       2243 Jan 18 01:53 dnscache-0.75/TARGETS
	...

	This bug is not NetBSD specific.

>Fix:
       1. use pax instead
       2. review and apply the following diff
