Hi,
I'd like to draw your attention to something that may well be a bug
(though I'm not sure it is a tar bug):
When I try to delete a file contained in a tar archive, I type a command
like the following:
$ tar --delete -f backup.tar history.dat
When I type part of the second argument, e.g.,
$ tar --delete -f backup.tar his
and inadvertently press 'Tab', my cursor freezes. It keeps blinking but
there seems to be no reaction from most keyboard inputs: no backspace,
no arrow keys, no characters to continue typing. Only Ctrl+C will work
and get me out. I am aware that the auto-completion feature won't work,
of course, so there's no point in typing 'Tab'. But it shouldn't freeze
either.
