This mailing list is a mailing list related to 'gtar' (GNU tar) in contrary to e.g. 'star' ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/ or a dependency of the UNIX tar http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/tar/ If the incorrect error message is going away with a selfcompiled version, then it verifies that the broken version uses a self made but broken implementation of strerror().
