The following causes gnutar to dump core % gnutar -V test -v -c -f /tmp/files.tar * The problem, according to gdb, is print_header is calling quote_copy_string with the parameter current_file_name, which is NULL. Attempting to access the string causes the core dump. The combination of -V and -v is necessary. Gnutar is compiled on a sun4, sunos 4.1.2. Andy Fyfe andy@cs.caltech.edu
