Alexandre Oliva requested that I post this message to amanda-users.
This is regarding the tar problem that I wrote here about.
Here is the message I got from the GNU tar folks, along with a patch.
Note that he couldn't duplicate it on Solaris (which doesn't use GNU
libc) but that it occured for me on two glibc platforms.

I can't reproduce the problem on Solaris with GNU tar 1.13.18 using
the following scenario. Is this scenario the right one?
$ mkdir -p spool/postfix/private
$ touch spool/postfix/private/file
$ echo './spool/postfix/private/*' >x
$ gtar -cf /tmp/tar --exclude-from=x .
$ gtar -tvf /tmp/tar
drwxrwxr-x eggert/eggert 0 2000-11-03 09:29:33 ./
drwxrwxr-x eggert/eggert 0 2000-11-03 09:27:41 ./spool/
drwxrwxr-x eggert/eggert 0 2000-11-03 09:27:41 ./spool/postfix/
drwxrwxr-x eggert/eggert 0 2000-11-03 09:27:49 ./spool/postfix/private/
-rw-rw-r-- eggert/eggert 26 2000-11-03 09:28:01 ./x
Possibly that is a bug in your GNU C library. Please try using GNU
tar 1.13.18 <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/tar/> with the following patch;
it works around the glibc bug. If that doesn't work, please send a
standalone test case.

* lib/fnmatch.c: Do not comment out all the code if we are
using the GNU C library, because in some cases we are
replacing buggy code in the GNU C library itself.
