I'm using tar 1.10 to backup one of our NeXTstations. I'm doing  
incremental backups, and have noticed that I sometimes (not consistently)  
get messages like:

/NextLibrary/Documentation/NextAdmin/05_SetupNet/_SettingUpACloneNetInfoA 
ndConfigurationServer.rtfd/: is too long: mangling to @@MaNgLeD.0

at all backup levels, even though these documentation files are never  
touched. Could it be that the "mangling" mechanism somehow causes the  
"incremental" mechanism to fail to recognize files? The files seem to be  
backed up alright, so the only problem is duplication.

Is this possible?
