Re: [Bug-tar] Problem w/ --compare in 1.14 & 1.15.1 on FC3

[Sergey Poznyakoff]

Hi Glenn,

I have tested your script with tar 1.13.25 and obtained the same
results as with 1.15.1.

Attached is a patch to 1.15.1 that should fix the problem. Please test
it and inform me if it works for you.

Regards,
Sergey
