  I thinks that I have found a bug.  I got GNU tar 1.11.1 and compiled without
any problems.  When I tar a users home directory as root it changes all of the
directories to be owned by root (originally owned by the user).


  tar cf - <users_home_directory> | (cd <new_partition>; tar xvpf -)

The only change I make to the code was in create.c on line 606, I casted the
alloca to a char *.  My system is a Sparc 690 running 4.1.2.
