Well, tar is opening the file as read-only. The check it does is first lstat() and later fstat() just before closing. If their ctimes differ, it complains. lstat()'s ctime seems to be two seconds behind fstat(). > I had someone that I thought I had tricked into testing this but I haven't > heard anything for a while.
