Commit 1ff0b63f4898 "Accept only position-sensitive (file-selection)
options in file list files" has introduced a pointer indirection
bug that breaks TAR_OPTIONS parsing.
The problem shows up when running the test suite on FreeBSD 12.2
where it can be simplified to this reproducer:
$ export
TAR_OPTIONS='--pax-option=exthdr.name=%d/PaxHeaders/%f,delete=mtime,delete=atime,delete=ctime'
$ tar
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Here's the fix:
