Well, like the README file in src/gnu/usr.bin/tar says:
"This GNU tar 1.11.2. Please send bug reports, etc., to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a beta-test release. Please
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
try it out. There is no manual; the release of version 1.12 will
contain a manual." [the file is dated Jun 18, 1993!]
Doesn't give one much confidence in the quality of the software,
especially if you don't know its been heavily modified...
Also, our tar has never been compatible with Amanda-2.41p1 (one
must install gnu-tar 1.12 + patches).
