After testing the program with a SysV arfile produced on a UTS IBM mainframe
I found that the Sys V 'ar' appends a '/' to the end of the filename. This
caused both BSD 'ar' and 'unpar' to coredump. SysV 'ar' can read a BSD 'ar'
or 'par' created arfile.
This patch strips the trailing '/'. It uses rindex() so on other systems (SysV)
you may need to replace the define and call with 'strrchr()'.
