The following UNIX System V Release 2.0 commands have erroneous use
of utime(2) in their source code.  On some systems, this can cause
files to have their dates set to funny values (like 31-Dec-1969).

	cpio	file	pack	tar	unpack

The fix is obvious; just follow directions given in UTIME(2).

Recipients of the BRL UNIX System V emulation for 4.2BSD should fix
this and install corrected versions of these commands.
