Dear GNU Tar developers,
I was downloaded and installed a static build of GNU Tar 1.30 using
./configure CFLAGS=--static --disable-shared
But when I was trying to unpack the Bash tarball (as shown below), I got
a segmentation fault.
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.4.18.tar.gz
tar xf bash-4.4.18.tar.gz
I must say that this didn't happen for a few other tarballs I checked
for example when unpacking the Make tarball of the link below
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.2.1.tar.gz
The problem also didn't exist when I built to allow shared libraries
(without the two options above).
I was wondering if this is a known bug or if I have done something wrong?
Thank you very much for all the great work on GNU Tar,
Cheers,
Mohammad
