I'm having trouble reproducing > the problem. I don't know. I am not sure whether upgrading tar is a good idea. I've the same troubles reproducing the bug as you do. Ie i don't know what causes the bug and how i can trigger it. All my attempts on creating a test case failed. The only thing i can tell you is, that tarring a certain directory will trigger the bug in question. IMHO we should try to figure out what causes the bug in the stable version of tar, then try to figure out whether that cause is still present in the current version.
