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:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
