A user of my Debian package of tar reports a problem in version 1.16 where
doing something like
tar -cf test.tar ~/.mozilla --exclude-from=<(cat /etc/group)
results in the following error output:
tar: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
The user reports that commenting out the call to closeopen() at line 2257
of tar.c seems to fix this problem.
