I am fully aware that Solaris is Unix and all the unix machines run GNU
software, which I am using for the last 11 years.  Please don't take my
remark as a flame, and certainly not a causic/harsh comment. Since I also
know that GNU utilities are available, but compilations to different unices
may differ, and also the version numbers do not mean the same thing across
the OS.  

I infact I want to know whether the problem is generic or solaris specific.
I have been using tar after the date has rolled over many times, took
backups also, faced no problems.  I am using GNU tar 1.12.

Gopi, if you took it as a flame, I am sorry.
