Hello!

I was about to submit a PR when a doubt crossed my mind. Is this a bug
or a "feature"?

$ tar -f /home/backup/arch.tar -A -v -C /net /net/basil
tar: Segmentation fault
$

Curiously, no core is dumped, so I cannot really debug (?) the problem.
How could I? Why isn't there a core anyways?

Again, strangely:

$ tar -f /home/backup/arch.tar -c -v -C /net /net/basil
tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive.
$ tar ft /home/backup/arch.tar 
net/basil
$ tar -f /home/backup/arch.tar -A -v -C /net /net/basil
tar: Segmentation fault
$ 

What am I missing here?
