rang@cpsin3.cps.msu.edu (Anton Rang) (01/17/89)
System: Sun-3/280, SunOS 3.4.
The command line:
gnutar -c -b 100 -v -f /tmp/rmt0 -z -l -V "cps45x: /usr 1-16-88" \
-X /usr/users/staff/rang/stuff/00yy .
causes GNU tar to crash with the message "Couldn't re-allocate memory".
I tracked it down to the routine add_exclude in tar.c, which calls
ck_realloc() on a null pointer.
