- I tried to install GNU tar 1.11.1 on an IBM RS6000 running AIX 3.2.0.
- The following seems to be wrong:
-
- In buffer.c, on line 1133, there is a switch(WTERMSIG(status)). It is
- obvious from the code that follows that the code assumes a 0 for
- WTERMSIG(status) when there was no signal. On this system, however,
- the macro returns a -1 in that case.
-
- Hope this helps, I'll gladly supply more information if needed.
