It's printed in sendsize.debug, IIRC.  And in runtar.debug.

It will reference a gnutar-list-dir .new file.  It's created initially
empty for level 0 estimates, and a copy of the lower level for
incremental estimates.

FWIW, I've had similar results with GNU tar 1.13.19 on Solaris 7/x86.
I've started investigating, but didn't get very far, and ended up
downgrading back to 1.12+patches.
