Hi!

After recent announcement of switching to NEW_PIPE on sparc
architecture (and some other platforms) I tried this option with a
complete -current system on my IPX. Result:

A simple 'tar xvzf base.tgz' yields a lot of 'Skipping to next file
header...' (== fails).

Removing the NEW_PIPE option from my kernel config and rebuilding the
kernel not changed otherwise solves this problem. -> Seems to be a
sparc specific NEW_PIPE problem (I don't see it on i386, powerpc,
alpha).

How/whom to report it?

Markus.
