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.
