I have an automated nightly build going that notices such things on my
behalf. :-)

I did create a patch for this, but just as I was getting ready to
submit it to the list, I noticed that a regression has been found in
tar 1.33. Looks like it may only affect OpenBSD. At least I wasn't
able to reproduce it on Linux.

Still, I am wondering if we do want to go ahead with 1.33 or if we
should hold off and see whether 1.34 is released in the not too
distant future.
