Description Peter Dufault 1994-12-23 05:00:00 UTC 
ranlib breaks on long odd-length filenames when the file is the last one in
the archive.  The bug is in ar/archive.c:copy_ar.

Fix: 

I don't have time to find it now.  I will look into it later; maybe
someone else has time to track it down now.
How-To-Repeat: 
Try this script:
#!/bin/csh
set F=0123456789ABCDE

cp /dev/null ${F}.c
cc -c ${F}.c
rm -f libfoo.a
ar cq libfoo.a ${F}.o
ranlib libfoo.a

rm -f ${F}.c ${F}.o
