I'm creating a tape archive with gnu's tar, using the
--listed-incremental option.  However, when I try to extract the tape
using HP-UX's stock tar, it fails with a "directory checksum error."

Creating the tape without --listed-incremental, I can extract using
HP-tar with no problem.  Does anyone know why this would be happening?

Thanks,
Wade
