The malloc, etc. functions in the lib subdirectory
of GNU tar 1.13.25 are broken. In particular, the
allocation functions are supposed to return a block
of memory suitably aligned for storage of any type
(see The Open Group's Single UNIX Specification).
They do not, and that's a problem which causes the
getdents() function in Doug Gwyn's dirent library
to fail.
