Package: tar Version: 1.23-3 Severity: normal
I ran into this as well and I'm able to reproduce it. The bigger the -g incremental file, the more often it seg faults. Some groups of dirs trigger it, some don't. It can even seg fault on the first run (before the listed-incremental file is written). The bug was introduced in upstream 1.23. 1.22 works. 1.23 (upstream) seems to always seg fault here: [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. hash_string (string=0x0, n_buckets=1777) at hash.c:427 427 for (; (ch = *string); string++) Tom Vier <t...@triadsys.com> Senior Net/Sys Admin Triad Systems Engineering, Inc. 703-956-1535 office 703-984-9093 cell 703-404-0308 helpdesk -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib tar recommends no packages.
