Freels) To: debian-bugs@pixar.com Subject: tar v 1.11.8 gives a segmentation fault error The newest version of tar gives me a segmentation fault error when I use it to create remote archives. The error only occurs when I create an archive remotely and did not occur on the previous version of tar. The command I use is tar cvfX vicws:/dev/rmt0 exclude_files / 2>backup_all.error | tee backup_all.list but it is only necessary to do the following command tar cvf vicws:/dev/rmt0 /root to produce the error. I tried to rebuild the same version of tar from scratch off of the sunsite archive and was not able to do so. I'm going to try to copy an old debian-distribution copy from my personal archive to see if the error is still present. The error occurs on additional remote machines besides vicws. The error occurs immediately. I will let you know if a previous version fixes the problem. -- []----------------------------------------------------------------[] | James D.
