Oh. Hmmm.... Looks like peter@ "upgraded" GNU cpio in -CURRENT from 2.6 to 2.8 on July 10. Skimming the source, I see the same broken tar header parsing that I found in GNU cpio 2.9 earlier tonight. I'll see if I can get a fix into the GNU cpio code in -CURRENT, unless someone wants to switch boot_crunch over to use bsdcpio. Tim Kientzle
