[Bug-tar] 1.23.90 fixes the "out of off_t range 0..9223372036854775807" problemf or me, too

[Alford, Seth]

I saw what looks like the same problem which Petr Sumbera
reported in last July with tar 1.23, regarding a multi-volume
archive.  See

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-07/msg00008.html

I installed Sergey Poznyakoff's 1.23.90 tar.  1.23.90 tar was not
able to read my multi-volume archive.  This is understandable,
since as Sergey pointed out, the bug was in archive creation.  I
rebuilt the multi-volume archive and the new version worked.

Thanks for the fix.

I'm a little concerned that the software was from the alpha ftp
repository.  Should I be?
