PROBLEM: (54202, 79596, BCPM412T3) (PATCH ID: OSF445-094)
********
This patch fixes a problem with the tar command. Corruption occurs when
restoring a file system that contains more than two hard links to a file.


PROBLEM: (DM07739) (PATCH ID: OSF445-180)
********
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: (MCGMA0CZ6, 81774) (PATCH ID: OSF445-128)
********
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...

********
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".

This submit request fixes the following problems
1)Now tar command displays error upon any write errors.
2)tar/pax/cpio now have option not to alter ctime of input files
  upon creating the archive. And displays a warning message in case
  if not able to preserve the time for pax/cpio.
3)pax -l option creates hard links whenever possible
4)cpio -m does not overwrite the destination file if it has same mtime
  as of source file.
5)tar -o option makes sure now that all files will be owned by current user
  and not the user from archive, even for symlinks.
6)cpio handles files owned by users with exteneded uids properly.
7)pax handles directories which has ACL on them properly now.
8)tar works fine now with long filenames.

The following corrections are made to the tar program
- when a trailing slash is presented to the extract (-x) and list (-t)
  options the specified directory will be restored without its contents.
- when a directory specification includes more than one trailing slash
  the create (-c) option will now strip extra slashes before writing the
  directory name to the archive.
