Summary:
There's a bug in xar latest public source code (https://opensource.apple.com/source/xar/xar-357/xar/lib/darwinattr.c.auto.html) and as far as I can tell, the problem is also in the version used in High Sierra.
In the stragglers_archive function, the fits struct is not declared as packed. This leads to issue when dealing with files on a APFS volume (and maybe HFS+ too) as the returned value is random and so the FinderCreateTime property will contains incorrect values such as:
402096012-07-25T21:56:16
123145302310912
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at the source of the stragglers_archive function.
Expected Results:
The struct should be packed. Personally, I didn't know this. Someone else pointed out the issue.
Actual Results:
The struct is not packed.
Version/Build:
xar-357 and High Sierra b9.
Configuration:
MacBook Pro Retina
