- Tar bug
- There is a tar bug in the distributed v7: if you specify "-w" in
- the arguments, the confirmation prompt is written to stdout. If
- you happen to specify "-wf -", this causes havoc. The fix is
- pretty obvious.
-
- I haven't addressed the converse problem: that of "-xwf -"... If
- you trust that stderr is really opened mode 2 (as the distributed
- init does), a similar fix will work.
