Thanks for the bug report about AIX.

There are a lot of failures there, but many of them seem
to be due to the "file changed as we read it" diagnostic.
Can you please try the first failing testcase, but
run the 'truss' command on the tar that issues the diagnostic?
One way to do that is to edit the testsuite command, which is
simply a large shell script.  If we look at the truss output,
we should be able to see the reason why 'tar' is failing.

Any chance you could give me an example of where you would suggest this change?

changing line 2050 of tests/testsuite to this:

truss tar cf archive directory 2>/var/tmp/truss.out

Did
 nothing more than echo this line into 
tests/testsuite.dir/002/testsuite.log when I ran 'gmake check' and didn't create any truss output
 anywhere I can find.
