[Bug-tar] free(valloc()): invalid pointer

[Justin Pryzby]

Please see Debian bug #248897 at [1] and its sibling at [2].  tar uses
valloc() to get aligned memory, and later free()s it.  However, the
pointer returned by glibc valloc() is not necessarily free()able.  This
applies at least to Debian and Radhat.
