Well, I rather suggested you don't use GNU tar on SuSE Linux because
the behavior you describe is typical e.g. for the native tar on
Solaris.
My experience is that users who are very secretive about versions of
their tools and OS often use a commercial Unix and seek help in Linux
groups since they know they will get very fast response there. I don't
say it's bad but they don't realize the XPG4,... based tools found in
commercial Unixes sometimes differ a lot from GNU tools and thus they
waste time of people who try to help them. I don't say it is your
case, it's just my experience from other e-mail lists.
