Dear sirs

I found some mistype at tar-1.13, that cause error "invalid type
length" when I trying to use tar -L <size>. With this diff it seems to
work in Slackware-8.0:
===============
bash-2.05$ pwd
/home/dima/work/test/tar-1.13
bash-2.05$ diff src/tar.c.orig src/tar.c
657c657
<         if (xstrtoul (optarg, (char **) 0, 10, &u, "") != LONG_MAX)
---
>         if (xstrtoul (optarg, (char **) 0, 10, &u, "") >= LONG_MAX)
bash-2.05$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13

Is this != simple mistype? Do you know about it?
