        ### POSIX mode.  In traditional mode, the UID is actually the VMS UIC.
        ### The VMS UIC has the upper 16 bits is the GID, which in many cases
        ### the VMS UIC will be larger than 209715, the largest that TAR can
        ### handle.  So for now, assume it is traditional if the UID is larger
        ### than 0x10000.

            $hash{uid} = $hash{uid} & 0xFFFF;

        ### The file length from stat() is the physical length of the file
        ### However the amount of data read in may be more for some file types.
        ### Fixed length files are read past the logical EOF to end of the block
        ### containing.  Other file types get expanded on read because record
        ### delimiters are added.
