unblock 526468 by 515731
thanks

When you get an error like "Unknown errror: 4294967207" coming out of perror, it's a libc or kernel issue (likely a mismatch of some sort). This has nothing to do with 515731. It seems somewhat unusual to claim that a bug is blocked by something that was closed 7 months ago in a package other than the one associated with the error.

515731 was for coreutils, and had to do with *older* (not newer) kernels which didn't support the newer utimensat function and was fixed by falling back to the older futimens function if utimensat returned ENOSYS. (Which would do nothing if 4294967207 doesn't equal ENOSYS.) tar may well have the same kind of issue, don't know. In this case I doubt it's tar's problem.
