I have created a cpio archive on a couple of different Unix platforms (SCO 
and AIX) with the -c option (cpio -ocvB...).  When I attempt to un-archive 
these files on Linux 6.0 using the -c option as well (cpio -icvBdum...), I 
get the following error:

cpio: premature end of file

If I un-archive the files without the -c option, the problem goes 
away.  Does anyone know if this is normal behavior?  I was under the 
assumption that the -c option should always be used for portability
reasons.

Thanks in advance,
Scott
