- The following causes gnutar to dump core
- % gnutar -V test -v -c -f /tmp/files.tar *
-
- The problem, according to gdb, is print_header is calling quote_copy_string
- with the parameter current_file_name, which is NULL. Attempting to access
- the string causes the core dump.
-
- The combination of -V and -v is necessary.
-
- Gnutar is compiled on a sun4, sunos 4.1.2.
