>Description:

	When reading a file larger than about 2 GB in a tar file,
	tar claims that the file size is negative; e.g.

		$ tar tfvv /tmp/!
		-rw-r----- 236/236 -1751465006 Aug  1 15:13 2000 bigfile
		tar: Skipping to next file header...


>How-To-Repeat:

	Make a big file.  Tar it.  Untar it.

>Fix:

	I assume that someone is treating the size as a signed int when
	they shouldn't be.  For what it's worth, GNU tar 1.13 can read the
	file in question.

State-Changed-Why:  
Modern GNU tar which was just imported into the -CURRENT doesn't have this 
problem. Therefore, the problem will befilly resolved when tar upgrade is 
MFC'ed in about 1 month.
