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...


PROBLEM: (BCSM31S18, 79413) (PATCH ID: OSF445-130)
********
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".
