System: NetBSD bellman.cb.piermont.com 5.99.8 NetBSD 5.99.8 (GENERIC) amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:

tar(1) fails in a particular weird case (exemplified by untaring a
pair of files from a base.tgz netbsd install set.)

gtar succeeds in the same case with no trouble.

>How-To-Repeat:

Fails:
tar -xzf releasedir/amd64/binary/sets/base.tgz ./rescue/[ ./rescue/atactl
Succeeds:
gtar -xzf releasedir/amd64/binary/sets/base.tgz ./rescue/[ ./rescue/atactl

See this transcript:

$ tar -xzf /releasedir/amd64/binary/sets/base.tgz ./rescue/[ ./rescue/atactl
tar: Cannot link to ./rescue/[ from ./rescue/atactl (No such file or directory)
tar: WARNING! These patterns were not matched:
./rescue/[
$ ls rescue
ls: rescue: No such file or directory
$ gtar -xzf releasedir/amd64/binary/sets/base.tgz ./rescue/[ ./rescue/atactl
$ ls -l rescue
