This is NOT a bug, it turns out that the created archive was corrupt.

Manually trying to extract the archive gave me a "unexpected end of
file" on the files.tgz that sbackup made.  Looking closer at it's size,
files.tgz was exactly 2147483647, 1 byte short of 2GB.  I bet this
failure occurs when the archive is not extracted and there are no files
to copy to the proper location.

So perhaps the real bug is that sbackup is unable to create tgz files
larger that 2GB?

Maybe I didn't notice my backup failed on Ubuntu 7.10 when I created it.
sbackup did successfully create an incremental backup using the "full"
backup.  I bet sbackup doesn't even check files.tgz when doing an
incremental, but just checks what file versions have changed by looking
at flist or something.

So, the real bug is that sbackup is unable to create tgz files larger
that 2GB!
