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.
