I am using gnutar to do multi-volume backups.  I have been
experiencing some wierd things that I think have something
to do with the size of a file crossing a volume.

The file size is ~114 MB.  The backup (cvMf) seems to go well,
but listing (tvMf), or comparing (dvMf) the backup yields a
message regarding the volumes being out of sequence.

If I try to list (tvf) the second volume, I get...

and the end of the first volume lists like
