and runs just fine on FreeBSD 4.x.

- I've tried various gtar versions, including 1.11.2, 1.13, and 1.13.19,
- but they all give me errors. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Add `./dev/*' to the gnu tar exlude file on the affected
hosts.
The problem is that FreeBSD has gone to 32 bit device
numbers, and gtar (and the POSIX spec?) only expect a 16 bit
device number.
Not backing up the devices directory shouldn't cause any
great heart-ache, as MAKEDEV exists to recreate the device
nodes.
