I believe you without reading the book ;-) . Great that you will be
looking into this. Maybe we can have the development freeze and a new
release right after this is fixed? I think the tar fix is good enough
for now. According to Pavel Shirshov there might be a few more issues
with tar.c. Not sure if these are new introductions or old issues. Seems
like a good item for 4.6.2.

Leonard.
