tar 1.11.1

I built tar version 1.11.1 on an AT&T 3b1 (more or less System V, release 2).
It compiled without incident, and I've actually used it quite a bit.  I
recently used tar to duplicate a (small) file system, and I found that
tar had not correctly set the owner of directories (but did for files).
Enclosed is a typescript, which demonstrates the problem.  If you need more
information, I'll be happy to provide it.
