  14. In gnu tar-1.11.1, when I issue:
  15. tar cv something*
  16.  
  17. I get blank lines for each file that is archived. Further
  18. investigation reveals that the variable current_file_name
  19. is not initialized on the create path; this is what print_header
  20. uses. The fix I applied was to an assignment before calling
  21. current_file_name = header->header.arch_name;
  22.
