problem with tar image containing more than 2.8 million files

[Michael Kelly]

	I have an IBM 595 running AIX 4.3.3.77.  I have re-compiled tar 1.13 with 
_LARGE_FILES.  I am having a problem restoring a tape image containing 
more than 2.8 million files.  The TAR creation appears to be sucessful. 
 During the creation, I used the "v" option and wrote to a file.  The 
creation contained ~3.3 million files.  During restore, with about 2.8 
million files restored, I have a core dump.  De-bugging with DBX 
indicates a problem in "stabstring.c" at line 4015 (unexpected 
character).  Is this a buffer over flow?  I cannot find the file 
"stabstring.c".  I have tried the restore with "--same-order", and 
"--files-from".  But still core dump.  I am currently trying to "tail" 
the the last 500K lines of the contents file into a new file, then try a 
"--files-from" or "--starting-file=" with that file.
        Does anyone have any advice?
