>Description:
If one uses NetBSD's "cpio" with "cpio -i -t" to list the contents of a
cpio archive it will extract the archive instead. This is inconsistent
with what Solaris' and GNU's "cpio" do. Using "cpio -t" avoids the problem
under NetBSD but doesn't work under Solaris. This is a functional
regression compared to NetBSD 1.6 which should be fixed.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use "cpio -i -t".

>Fix:
None provided.
