Some time back, ted@braggvax posted a query about 4.3BSD tar & absolute path
names.  Did this issue ever get resolved (other than by telling Ted he was a
fool for using absolute pathnames)?  If so, would someone please post the fix
or the diffs or something?  If not, would someone please send me a good
explaination of why it isn't broken (and therefore shouldn't be fixed :-))?

Thanx in advance.

    "Bon-hommy," went on Eeyore gloomily.  "French word meaning
     bonhommy," he explained.  "I'm not complaining, but There It Is."
