System: NetBSD miyu 2.0_BETA NetBSD 2.0_BETA (MIYU) #46: Sun Apr 11 13:19:40 MEST 2004 feyrer@miyu:/usr/cvs/src-2.0/sys/arch/i386/compile/MIYU i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

I have tar on 2.0_BETA/i386 dump core on me (reliably) when trying
to copy my -rnetbsd-2-0 source tree located in /usr/cvs/src-2.0 to
some dir:

	( cd /usr/cvs ; tar plcf - \
	  src-2.0/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results \
	  | ( cd /tmp ; tar plvxf - ) )

This leads to:

	...
	src-2.0/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results/class-long-and-virtual.out
	src-2.0/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results/s-double-a-longdouble.out+
	tar: Cannot create
	src-2.0/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results/s-double-a-longdouble.out (File exists)
	src-2.0/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results/s-double-s-longdouble.out+Abort (core dumped)
	tar: Failed write to archive volume: 1miyu%  (Broken pipe)
	tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
	tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
	tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file

	miyu%

gdb says:
	(gdb) bt
	#0  0x48090e1b in kill () from /lib/libc.so.12
	#1  0x48105287 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.12
	#2  0x08050170 in file_creat (arcn=0x806de20)
	    at /usr/src/bin/pax/file_subs.c:102
	#3  0x0804c657 in extract () at /usr/src/bin/pax/ar_subs.c:348
	#4  0x08054f65 in main (argc=3, argv=0xbfbff88c) at /usr/src/bin/pax/pax.c:293
	#5  0x0804a1e2 in ___start ()

file_subs.c:102 is:
        if (xtmp_name)
                abort();

xtmp_name is at that place:
	(gdb) print xtmp_name
	$1 = 0x807a180 	"src-2.0/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results/s-double-a-longdouble.out"

I've played with variants of the above command starting in various dirs
and giving various arguments, but it only crashes in that one situation:

	works:  ( cd / ; tar plcf - usr/cvs/src-2.0/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results
	works:  ( cd /usr ; tar plcf - cvs/src-2.0/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results
	ABORTS: ( cd /usr/cvs ; tar plcf - src-2.0/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results
	works:  ( cd /usr/cvs/src-2.0 ; tar plcf - gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results
	works:  ( cd /usr/cvs/src-2.0/gnu ; tar plcf - dist/gcc/gcc/testsuite/consistency.vlad/layout/i960-97r2-results

I can copy more of the tree (initially the command was to cd /usr/cvs and
tar up src-2.0), but the error always happens at the same line/file.

>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.

>Fix:
	Unknown.
