here's one for your collection (though it might not be new):
ISC 2.0.2 tar has a stupid artificial limits causing core dump
when the path of the current directory is long.
i just tried to do 'tar cvf bla.tar *' in the directory
/usr2/src/programming/languages/smalltalk/LittleSmallTal
of course GNU tar has no problems creating the archive.
however, it is possible to do a 'tar tvf bla.tar' in that directory.
will this be fixed in 2.2 ?
