I'm trying to append several new files to an existing zipped .tar.gz and
maintain the zipped format. I find that 
	tar -vrzf exist.tar.gz *.new
leads to an 
	Aborted (core dumped)
message. More than likely my syntax is faulty, but maybe not. (Creating a
.tar.gz from scratch using "tar -vczf .." works fine. Appending new files to
an existing .tar using "tar -vrf exist.tar *.new" works fine.) This happens
with 1.5.18 and 1.5.19s 20051220. Please can anybody put me right or confirm
the core dump? Thank you.
Fergus
