tar dumps core

[Chow Chi-Ming <cmchow@se.cuhk.edu.hk>]

Hi,

Has anyone else seen this before?

    cmchow@sedpc45:/tmp # dd if=/dev/zero of=file count=100 
    100+0 records in
    100+0 records out
    cmchow@sedpc45:/tmp # tar cvf test.tar file 
    file
    cmchow@sedpc45:/tmp # tar tvfM test.tar
    -rw-r--r-- cmchow/cmchow 51200 Jan 16 17:37 1997 file
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    cmchow@sedpc45:/tmp #

It won't dump core if file is smaller (say a few KB) or the option M
is not used. 

Debian 1.2, tar 1.11.8-5, libc5 5.4.13-1.

Thanks.
