Hello,
proposing patch for some of the issues found by coverity scan in tar-1.34

}
In addition, there are some issues which are not resolved by this patch.
There is a compiler warning about issues in utimens.c, which I find as
false positives. Another false positive is memory leak in malloca.c. Issue
presented in stdopen.c might be actually a problem. Can you please
investigate it and give feedback ?
