hi,
i downloaded "tar112b.zip" from simtel, unzipped it, but it look like to
have a bug, every time i try something like this:

tar -cf foo.tar c:/bar/
                ^^ this is important, without the drive letter, it doesn't
crash

it crashed with a SIGSEGV.
So i downloaded "tar112s.zip" to build it myself, but now with the new build
of tar, all works fine and it don't crashes any longer.

Can someone reproduce this or is it just a broken download from
"tar112b.zip"?

Ingo
