I have a problem with afio on NetBSD 1.6 (sparc).

It cannot read its own archives:


escape:/home/shannon                                                            [62] % find test | afio -ov test.afio
test -- okay
test/a -- okay
test/a.orig -- okay
test/b -- okay
test/b.orig -- okay
test/c -- okay
test/c.orig -- okay
test/d -- okay
test/d.orig -- okay
test/d~ -- okay
                                                                                escape:/home/shannon                                                            [63] % afio -t test.afio
test
test/a
afio: "test.afio" [offset 164]: Bad magic number
afio: "test/a": May be corrupt
afio: "test.afio" [offset 253]: Apparently resynchronized
afio: "test/a.orig": Continuing
test/a.orig
test/b
afio: "test.afio" [offset 342]: Bad magic number
afio: "test/b": May be corrupt
afio: "test.afio" [offset 431]: Apparently resynchronized

When I look at these archives, they seem to be fine, except for the
string of numbers before each filename.  They differ from the same
archive created with afio on a Linux machine.

For example:

test-netbsd.afio:

0707070040110002400407550017500001440000010000001000427021000000500000000000test

I've read complaints about this problem, but no solutions.

afio for NetBSD can read other afio/cpio archives just fine, it just
fails writing them.
