>Release: FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:
Probably all FreeBSD versions, patch ist for -STABLE
>Description:
When using tar with the -F option but without --volno-file, the following
output appears after the first volume is full:
root@server:/dump>tar -c -F /dump/volchange -L 10 -f try.tar usr
tar: (null) : Bad address
This is because the code to modify the volno-file is called even if
there hasn't been one specified.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
The fix does the same thing as being done elsewhere when volno-file is
accessed: Do it only if the user specified --volno-file.
