He says:
Ok the extra INTOFF is the one in exverror().
In almost all cases this doesn't matter because the longjmp()s
all end up in main() and the FORCEINTON call sorts it out
for the next command.
(There are a significant number of INTON/OFF mismatches through
the error paths...)
In any case the above failure can be 'fixed' by changing 2 (I think
they are both needed) INTON calls to FORCEINTON within evalcommand.
The following patch seems to work:
We should really look in the code and fix the INTON->INTOFF pairs.
and /usr/bin/cpio (/bin/cpio). The pathname of tar(1) is hard-coded
into things like binary packages, and thus must be kept around
for backward compatibility.
extract. We now generate GNU tar archives by default ("ustar ^@" instead of
"ustar^@00"). GNU extensions can be disabled with --strict.
XXX: long symlinks untested.
- correct -C processing
- add ability to read filenames and flags from a file
- don't print dangerous escape sequences to the terminal
- use strlcpy/strncpy properly.
- handle tmpfile creation better.
- improve documentation of options.
- handle stdout/stderr list selection correctly.
- kill gzip when we get interrupted.
- simplify gzip setup.
- add more flags to programs.
additional changes:
- librmt processing.
- set POSIXLY_CORRECT in options parsing.
- prevent more string overruns.
- support -T
we don't turn the switch on to replace tar and cpio yet.
