Problem Description:

BUGID: 1053733

	On cartridge tapes, pax gets into an infinite loop when it gets to 
	the end of the tape.  The problem is that the 'st' driver returns 
	a '0' on a write that hits EOF.  'pax' expects a -1 on error.


INSTALL:
Examples are for a sun4, make sure and use your correct archetecture.
