OK,
I remember going to 1.13.19 after someone here suggested that this was
better than (even_ 1.12 w/ amanda patches because under some strange
circumstances it could coredump.
When I upped my boxes to suse 7.1/2.4/glibc2.2 I also got a new tar
(1.13.whatever0 and noticed it dump core everytime.
When I went and copied my 1.13.19 over the current tar things started
functioning again.
I never tried booting back to 2.2.18 and see what happened then.
It woudln't surprise me if there is something in the combo
2.4kernel/glibc2.2/amanda2.4.2 that causes a coredump in the 1.12

Well, checking a new tar version is a small effort.
If you want I can send you my binary, so you can drop it in and see if the
dumops work again.
