In the past I've had the index problem with the Sun Freeware
(including the one automatically installed in /usr/sfw/bin) and
Companion CD 1.13 versions. I see that Solaris 10 will be coming
with gtar 1.14 in /usr/sfw/bin. Don't know if that has/will have
problems or not. IIRC some 1.14's reverted to having problems.
