I received several useful responses about working around the bug
in OSF/1 V3.2 tar. In particular, Jon Buchanan, Jonathan.Buchanan_at_ska.com,
pointed out that there is a working tar on the CD in the OSFOBSOLETE
subset, under /usr/opt/sterling, that doesn't have the problem with
displaying dates. The solution I ended up using, however, was
suggested by Herr Bock, bock_at_dbf.ddb.de, and that was to get
GNU tar from prep.ai.mit.edu.
