Package: tar
Version: 1.16-2
Severity: important
Hello,
I have a pretty reproducible segmentation fault with Debian's gtar on a
regular amd64 system. Not reproducible on i386. The scenarios is simply
feeding tar via -T with many files, something about 400.000 and then it
just segfaults, eg. with "locate . | tar -c -T- > /dev/null".
A quick look with gdb shows the problematic line getopt.c:421 but I have
not enough time to hunt the bug down right now.
Eduard.

Since I can't reproduce this bug, and there has been no further information,
I'm closing it with no action taken. If the problem appears again, I'll be
happy to try and help diagnose what's really going on.
