In gnu tar-1.11.1, when I issue:
tar cv something*

I get blank lines for each file that is archived. Further
investigation reveals that the variable current_file_name
is not initialized on the create path; this is what print_header
uses. The fix I applied was to an assignment before calling
current_file_name = header->header.arch_name;

  		head = header;
  		/* hstat is already set up */
  		head_standard = f_standard;
- 		/* rocky@watson.ibm.com:
- 		   At this point, curr_file_name has not been initialized.
- 		   Initialize it.
-                 */
- 		current_file_name = header->header.arch_name;
  		print_header();
  	}
