 Hi,

   this what I think is a bug in gnu tar 1.11.1 and the -L option for
   tapelenght.  I work on HP9000/720 HP9000/817 HP9000/425e and Next.
   On the 817s I have had a problem with tar and -L 24000000 byte lenght.
   I was using the level-0 script modified by me to include -L.  The 
   program wrote (a very little) and kept prompting me for the next 
   volume.  When I took the -L out it worked fine.  Anyhow see what
   you can do. Maybe ints are too small for 2.4 gbTapes
   Thanks,
