The good news is, the msdos/vfat segfault is not a pax problem.
The bad news is, the libc.so.5.4.13 I laboriously reduced to 416361 bytes,
is the problem. At least, when I run the same tar command against the
same directory on the same system, but I use a 581084 byte libc.so.5.4.46,
it doesn't fail... This means I'll have to try to find what version >
5.4.13 and < 5.4.46 fixed what problem, and manually fight the size down
again, or else look into the cygnus 'newlib' while I'm at it, or else try
to retrofit the fix.
For now, be aware that on mounted msdos or vfat filesystems, (but not
samba or nfs mounted remote msdos and vfat filesystems), using the 'tar'
format (but not the'cpio' format), tomsrtbt is capable of segfaulting when
creating archives using tomsrtbt.
