- I built tar version 1.11.1 on an AT&T 3b1 (more or less System V, release 2).
- It compiled without incident, and I've actually used it quite a bit. I
- recently used tar to duplicate a (small) file system, and I found that
- tar had not correctly set the owner of directories (but did for files).
- Enclosed is a typescript, which demonstrates the problem. If you need more
- information, I'll be happy to provide it.
