GNU tar 1.31's regression test 41, numeric.at, is broken on filesystems
with BSD semantics (GID inherited from directory) if run in a
directory whose GID does not match the primary GID of the executing
user.
I already reported this problem for 1.29 and 1.30. A fix had been
suggested for 1.29, but was never committed.

Testsuite.log from FreeBSD 12 attached.
