The first hunk in this file was submitted by Craig Wiegert
<wiegert@quintessence.uchicago.edu>.  It fixed a problem that causes
GNUTAR to issue error messages like the following for sparse files:

> /bin/tar: Read error at byte 0, reading 512 bytes, in file ./var/log/lastlog: Bad file number

The others fix an estimate problem in GNUTAR on SunOS 4.1.3, HP/UX and
other systems whose C libraries do not support "%lld" in printf format
strings for printing long long integers.

Patch follows.
