Subject: Re: tar 1.29 hangs, when run with strace, it exits with "illegal instruction"

Thanks for responding, Brian.

Cygwin is on a corporate machine so disabling anything will not be
easy or allowed.  Can you explain "bypass cygwin directories?"

Cygwin's tar worked recently so must be an "enhancement" in the
security software or some change in tar that is frowned upon.  I see
no evidence of Symantec Endpoint software, must be different AV
software.
