>Description:
	If you give the -T option to tar and one of the files in the
	list has a backslash, the tar operation stops without an error.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Create files called a, b, c:\test1\test2 and x run the command
	"ls -cvf /tmp/t.tar -T -" and note that only the first two files
	get into the archive.
