Keep in mind that this is actually a diff of the original BSD arc
program and an update that was posted on the net last July by Dan
Lanciani.  There is a bug in the update when you try to add files to
an archive using the q (use squashing) option, and you will find
yourself going nowhere fast in an endless loop.  Perhaps we can rehash
the author's plea for someone to have a go at fixing it, but it sure
doesn't sound like much fun.
