I find that tar -vrzf exist.tar.gz *.new leads to an Aborted (core dumped) message. More than likely my syntax is faulty, but maybe not. (Creating a .tar.gz from scratch using "tar -vczf .." works fine. Appending new files to an existing .tar using "tar -vrf exist.tar *.new" works fine.) This happens with 1.5.18 and 1.5.19s 20051220. Please can anybody put me right or confirm the core dump? Thank you.
