Well, looks like I'm totally out of options; I have an IDE tape drive
that worked perfectly with 7.0, but with 7.1 I can only write to it (tar
cvzpf /dev/ht0 <file-list>)---I can't read from it (tar xzvpf
/dev/ht0). I've already tried a kernel upgrade, the version of tar that
came with 7.0, and ide-tape.o that came with 7.0 (this wouldn't even
load---error messages about unresolved symbols). Now that I think about
it, I haven't tried a different version of gzip, although with 7.1 I can
`tar cvzpf /dev/fd0 <file-list>' and `tar xzvpf /dev/fd0' with no
problem.
Error messages listed below. Any suggestions?

P.S. All apologies to anyone to whom my numerous postings have become
tiresome. If I have to, I'll go back to 7.0, but 7.1 has so many
features I like. . .
