Follow the instructions at

and then post the detailed backtrace here. "tar" uses several
libraries. It can be anything, even unstable hardware (such as bad RAM
chips).

This is the output I get:

[r...@tbred roland]# gdb /bin/tar
GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.3.0.0-1.159.el4rh)

(gdb) run --cvzf buXXX b*
Starting program: /bin/tar --cvzf buXXX b*
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0806d4e6 in ?? ()
(gdb) Quit
(gdb)


I do not see much of a story here. I hope you do.

Run:

debuginfo-install tar

and repeat

poc


and don't forget to issue 'bt' to get a back trace before quiting.
even with out debug symbols it can sometimes be useful, but is always more useful than you got above.
