This patch fixes a problem with the tar and pax programs. These programs
incorrectly append files to an existing archive and cause the file to
become corrupt.

A user will not notice the corruption until they read the archive using
either the "tar t" or "tar x" commands. For example, a file named foo.tar
would have the following message in the middle of the output:

     tar: foo.tar : This doesn't look like a tar archive
     tar: foo.tar : Skipping to next file...

PROBLEM:  (MANBBP075, HPXQC1120)         (Patch ID: OSF425-181)
********
The pax program (invoked as pax, tar or cpio) would incorrectly handle files
larger than 4GB in size. The program would not complain on creation of an
archive, however it had truncated the filesize when writing it to the archive
file header. Thus on extract, it would appear to have found a corrupt archive.
In addition it will now warn the user when the pax program truncates a file
that is too large to be archived (8 GB).

PROBLEM:  (QAR 63886)    (Patch ID: OSF425-573)
********

The tar/pax program did not always read the last tape record of an archive.
This caused confusion for scripts that were reading a series of archives on the
no-rewind device.

********

  * If the file was the target of another symbolic link

restoring a file system that contains more than two hard links to a file.


PROBLEM: (DM07739) (PATCH ID: OSF425-1080)
********
This patch corrects pax/tar/cpio to properly extract explicitly specified files.
When an archive contained a file with extended attributes and a different file
(occurring later in the archive) was specified to be extracted, improper buffer 
pointer management resulted in the following display (example uses tar):
        tar: /dev/nrmt0h : This doesn't look like a tar archive
        tar: /dev/nrmt0h : Skipping to next file...
        tar: Memory allocation failed for extended data while reading :
      Not enough space
The directory option was similarly affected. In this case the information 
for the specified file was not reported.


PROBLEM: (BCSM31S18, 79413) (PATCH ID: OSF425-1032)
********
This patch fixes a problem where the tar -F (Fasttar) option
ignores files named "err" but doesn't ignore files named
"errs" and directories named "SCCS" and "RCS".
