Summary:                    star 1.5a75 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) can not extract a
tar file it creates
Description: 
Given a directory tree with files in it I can create a tar file with star
easily thus : 

/opt/csw/bin/star -c -p -sparse -dump -C /source_directory .
file=/destination/foo.tar

This results in a new tar file foo.tar just fine.

Attempts to extract that tar file fail.

This was caused by the treatement of files that end in a hole
and fixed
