You're asking the wrong people. Tar getting a segmentation violation
(signal 11) is a tar issue. You need to ask them.
If it really dropped core, it's probably in the top level of the directory
it was backing up. You could start by running a debugger on that and
get a stack traceback to send to the GNU tar folks.
Someone else was having a gtar core dump problem today and I'll pass
along what I told them:
* Try at least 1.13.19 from alpha.gnu.org.
* If you use gcc to compile, make sure it's 2.95.3. Previous
versions had problems building gtar.
* If nothing else works, you might go back to 1.12 with the Amanda
patches from www.amanda.org.
