Log Message:
Updated star to 1.4.2.

Major changes since 1.4.1:

- printf() now correctly handles %X vs. %x on 64 bit machines
  Removed a 20 year old local extension that became non-portable.
- new 'librmt', which may be used by any external program like e.g.
  dump/restore to improve cross platform compatibility.
- librmt now allows the use of ssh(1) for remote tape access.
- smt benefits from librmt and now gives platform independent
  'mt status' output in remote mode.
- New option -wready for smt.
- Better man page for 'rmt'.
- Handle a seek error problem in create mode correctly when checking
  for reading past max possible file size on non-large file OS.
- Correctly propagate write/read errors from FIFO to star.
- Add support for SIGINFO (*BSD) as a courtesy to BSD users.
- Do not open /dev/tty if a newvolume script is present.
  This allows the use of star from cron scripts.
- Fixed a bug in the ACL handling code on Linux that caused star to
  recognize ACL comments as ACL entries and include them in the archive.
- Work around to allow star to read ACL enhanced archives that
  include bogus entries that really were ACL comments created by
  the bug above.
