Subject: 24.0.90; tar-mode: wrong display of suid and sgid bits
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:37:18 +0200

In the display of file modes in tar-mode's listing, the suid and sgid
bits are interchanged.

The following session illustrates the problem:

$ touch foo bar
$ chmod u+s foo
$ chmod g+s bar
$ ls -fl foo bar
-rwSr--r-- 1 ulm users 0 Oct 20 23:22 foo
-rw-r-Sr-- 1 ulm users 0 Oct 20 23:22 bar
$ tar cf foo.tar foo bar
$ tar tvf foo.tar
-rwSr--r-- ulm/users         0 2011-10-20 23:22 foo
-rw-r-Sr-- ulm/users         0 2011-10-20 23:22 bar
$ emacs -Q foo.tar

Now, in tar-mode's listing the two flags are interchanged:

 -rw-r-sr--     ulm/users         0 foo
 -rwsr--r--     ulm/users         0 bar

Also, they should be displayed with a capital letter S if the
corresponding executable bit is not set, and the sticky bit should
be shown, too. The patch included below fixes the problem for me.
