	Could it be that when you originally made the tar tape
	the tar you were using was gnu tar.  I know that their
	makefile uses the name 'tar' when installing the binary.
	If that tar got lost and overwritten with the original
	during the upgrade this might explain your problems.
	Although, even gnu tar requires the -M option for multi-
	volumes.
