tar cvf - . > /dev/null dumps core. This is with GNU tar 1.11 on a
Sun4 running 4.1.1.
A gdb stack trace:
#0 quote_copy_string (string=0x0) at port.c:784
#1 0xe304 in print_header () at list.c:536
#2 0x6f7c in finish_header (header=0x24000) at create.c:1276
#3 0x6474 in dump_file (p=0xf7fffbaf ".", curdev=-1, toplevel=1)
at create.c:683
#4 0x57f0 in create_archive () at create.c:178
#5 0x27b8 in main (argc=4, argv=0xf7fffb34) at tar.c:232
Looks like print_header expects current_file_name to be set to
something.
