Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

After much thrashing around, I believe I've got the tar issues
addressed in -current.  We probably won't add an option for cpio to
match tar's -P option (we aren't big fans of --long-options and what
masochist uses cpio for anything but a historical application?), but
adding a -o suboption to pax to match tar's -P is probably in order.

Let me know if you find I've missed anything.


Errata for 5.5/5.6 will occur when travel interruptions permit.
