A problem with  tar(1)

I have experienced a rather strange behaviour when using  tar(1) : it did not backup files with a length of zero. While in this case no data gets lost, this might still cause inconsistencies for applications. These files might be lock files or whatsoever and if they do not get backed up, who knows what happens. This error does not occur with  afio(1) .
