I'm using: tomsrtbt-1.7.205.tar.gz

While trying to make a tar backup of the windows directory of my Winbox onto
vfat (hard drive), tar (pax) crashed while making the archive.  At first I
thought it might be some kind of weird vfat-filesystem bug, but I took a
RTBT disk to work and successfully made a tarball of my work computer's
windows directory.  The work computer has a much smaller windows directory,
however.  Back home again, I decided to shoot the tarball to the internal
IDE tape drive and tar crashed at exactly the same spot.

On my Linux-box, I use afio to backup that system and I have that program
working within the RTBT.  Using afio, I had no problems backing up the
windows directory to tape or to vfat.

My windows directory is a tad over 540 megs, but tar crashes far before
that.
