Re: [Bug-tar] what is the point of archiving /proc "files" if you can't extract them later?

This is not a bug, as proc "files" are not really files in the usual sense. 
Their semantics are weird. Every time you look at them, they have different 
contents and different lengths. Sometimes, they are empty. Tar just happens to 
look at them when they are empty.
