[Bug-tar] tar creating duplicated entries ?

[Dennis.Hansson]

Hi !

Really don't know if it's a bug or if we are using the tar command in
the wrong way !

We are using the tar command when archiving quite a lot (70.000 - 150.000 ) of
files and all filenames are stored in a text-file which are used as input to the tar command.
It seems like its working fine but somehow the files are stored twice in the archive (but
not directory entries) 

Platform are: HP-UX 11.23 Itanium
Tar version: 1.15.1

Command running.
tar cf msg_log_archive -T filenames

Are there any additional argument that we are missing or is it the tar that
are generating something incorrect here.

A short example output from a simple test.
$ux9h20:/tmp/dennis> cat filenames                      
/var/tmp/dennis
/var/tmp/dennis/slask1
/var/tmp/dennis/slask2
/var/tmp/dennis/slask3
$ux9h20:/tmp/dennis> gtar cf msg_log_archive -T filenames
gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names
$ux9h20:/tmp/dennis> gtar tvf msg_log_archive
