Here is some additional info:1. I've verified that the current GNU version, http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio/cpio-2.6.tar.bz2 , DOES NOT have this bug.
2. Debian cpio version 2.6-4 still contains the bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
