Hi Tristan,

Thanks for your report. However, I can't reproduce this behavior.
The command

  tar xavf news002f1.tar.bz2 --wildcards '*trek*'

terminates with code 2 and the following diagnostics:

src/tar: news002f1/b5/net.startrek/24: Cannot hard link to 
'news002f1/b5/net.sf-lovers/141': No such file or directory
src/tar: news002f1/b5/net.startrek/38: Cannot hard link to 
'news002f1/b5/net.sf-lovers/161': No such file or directory
../src/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Regards,
Sergey
