[Bug-tar] file name too long to be stored in a GNU multivolume header

Is this ever going to be addressed when spanning tapes?

tar: data04/N/Program Files/MGI/MGI PhotoSuite 4/Content 
Files/ContentHD/CAT_Web Templates/images/twisted2.jpg: file name too long to be 
stored in a GNU multivolume header
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

The backup then fails and terminates at that point.

I really don't have control of when a tape fills and needs to continue on 
another tape, nor the length of the path and filename(s) that applications use, 
so this happens fairly often.
