#395 bsdtar produces truncated tar file when pathname > 106 chars

[AndyM]

When using the Windows version 2.4.0 of bsdtar from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm

an error occurs when trying to tar a set of files that have pathnames longer than ~106 characters.

The 1st output below shows a successful run with long pathnames, the longest being 106 characters.

The 2nd output below that has 5 extra characters in the pathname. This produces a shorter tar file that produces an error when listing.

The documentation suggests that when the pathname>100 chars, the first part of the pathname will be stored as a prefix which has an extra 155 chars available.

Thanks,
Andy
