Yup. I got a couple of these `too large' messages, not only for time_t, but also for uid_t and gid_t, when using GNU tar 1.13, on various platforms. I suggest you to downgrade to 1.12 while a couple of other problems in GNU tar 1.13 are settled down. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~oliva IC-Unicamp, Bra[sz]il [EMAIL PROTECTED],guarana.{org,com}} [EMAIL PROTECTED],computer.org} [EMAIL PROTECTED],kaffe.org,{egcs,sourceware}.cygnus.com,samba.org} ** I may forward mail about projects to mailing lists; please use them
