Looking at the .tar file it seems the problem is when it is made (ie
xyzzy.tar really thinks that the link is to 'b')
I'm using 2.4.10-ac10-rmk1 (with the previous (non-matching) -npx) patch +
my own hacks on a jffs2 fs. The tar is dated April 2 2001 and 139036 bytes
long.
I've also tries this on an iPaq running familiar 0.5pre3 (Linux version
2.4.7-rmk3-np1-devfs ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.2
19991024 (release)) #6 Fri Sep 21 17:06:13 EDT 2001 and it breaks in a
similar way.
