Please note that djtar can still be made to loop endlessly, but without 
overwriting the stack, on the right input in plain DOS.

Say you have a tar file containing the directories "1/aaaaaaaa" 
(eight As) and "1/aaaaaaaaa" (nine As). djtar creates the first 
directory, but fails on the second (as it is the same name in  plain 
DOS). The user is asked for a new name, he answers "aaaaaaaa" (eight 
As), which will fail. Then he answers "aaaaaaaaa" (nine As). 

This has resisted my tries of correcting. I'd be glad for some input here.
Perhaps complete rewrite of getting new name?


Mmm,
