* Many bug fixes to the operation of pax and the tar compatibility modes
* Code fixes for things like correct string buffer termination.
I tried to preserve existing FreeBSD fixes to this utility; please let me

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
