I found recently a bug in djtart/x reading multivolume disk generated by tar
on a sparc:

djtar uses the first sector of all disks as data.
In fact starting from the second disk the first sector
contains the name of the file actually in use and the remaining
length and could be used to check if the right disk is actually
inserted.
