Package: tar Version: 1.16-2 Severity: important Hello,
I have a pretty reproducible segmentation fault with Debian's gtar on a regular amd64 system. Not reproducible on i386. The scenarios is simply feeding tar via -T with many files, something about 400.000 and then it just segfaults, eg. with "locate . | tar -c -T- > /dev/null". A quick look with gdb shows the problematic line getopt.c:421 but I have not enough time to hunt the bug down right now.
