This page: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/FAQ:What_versions_of_GNU_Tar_are_Amanda-compatible%3F lists all of the known incompatibilities. Looking a bit more deeply into the assertion, it is not, in fact, in tar -- it's in glibc, in the glue code that communicates with nscd for name resolution (including uids and gids). Is there an update available for glibc or nscd on your system? Is there a problem with nscd? Is it possible to disable nscd? The communication with nscd is via shared memory, so I wouldn't be surprised to find that there is a race condition or other programming flaw that survived several releases of glibc before being caught -- or perhaps this is the first time it's been seen!
