System: NetBSD woffi.planix.com 1.6K NetBSD 1.6K (PLANIX) #4: Sat Jan 4 13:18:31 EST 2003 root@woffi.planix.com:/m5/netbsd-current/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/WOFFI i386
Architecture: i386

>Description:
The -h option is ignored by pax-as-tar. Installing unproven-pthreads 
will appear to succeed but some include file will be symlinks pointing 
to nowhere.

>How-To-Repeat:
# tar1.5 below is NetBSD 1.5's tar
$ mkdir x; cd x; echo "xxxxx" > file; ln -s file link; ls -l
