They are just printed out with format %i. To get the real time, you can 
run these numbers through "/bin/date -r":

% /bin/date -r 1172946146
Sat Mar  3 19:22:26 CET 2007

Your result will be different according to your time zone, but it is 
about 7 minutes prior to the time stamp on Daniel's message.

OK, no size change, just 4 secs difference in ctime. If this is 
confirmed by others, it means IMHO that we should patch our tar and just 
rip the non-zero error code out. The discussion on the tar mailing list 
dmacks was pointing to shows anyway that the introduction of a non-zero 
return value at this point was a spontaneous brain fart of the tar 
developer.
