 I've looked at this patch and it looks right to me.
 (And having spent much of the last year researching tar formats,
 I think my opinion might be worth something here. ;-)
 
 While we're in here, we should also fix to_oct to pad
 values with leading zeros (as POSIX requires) rather
 than leading spaces (as was common for pre-POSIX tar
 implementations).
 
 On the other hand, I doubt a lot of people use cpio
 to read/write tar archives, this is on the vendor branch,
 and it hasn't been touched in nearly seven years.
 
 David:  I note that you did the last import of this and
 probably know more about vendor imports than anyone else
 around.  Is this worth fixing?  If you think so, let me know
 and I'll take care of it.
