Thanks for trying the tests.  The test 34 failure is known, and
it's on our list of things to fix, but the test 36 failure is new.
Can you please modify tests/testsuite by inserting a "kdump"
at the crucial place?  That is, replace this:

# Tar should work when there are few, but enough, file descriptors.
((ulimit -n 10 &&
  tar -cf archive3.tar a 3<&- 4<&- 5<&- 6<&- 7<&- 8<&- 9<&- &&
  tar -xf archive3.tar -C dest3 a 3<&- 4<&- 5<&- 6<&- 7<&- 8<&- 9<&-
 ) &&
 diff -r a dest3/a >/dev/null 2>&1
) || { diff -r a dest3/a; exit 1; }

with this:

# Tar should work when there are few, but enough, file descriptors.
((ulimit -n 10 &&
  tar -cf archive3.tar a 3<&- 4<&- 5<&- 6<&- 7<&- 8<&- 9<&- &&
  ktrace -f /tmp/tr tar -xf archive3.tar -C dest3 a 3<&- 4<&- 5<&- 6<&- 7<&- 
8<&- 9<&-
 ) &&
 diff -r a dest3/a >/dev/null 2>&1
) || { diff -r a dest3/a; exit 1; }

and then run this:

cd tests
make check TESTSUITEFLAGS=36
kdump -f /tmp/tr

and send us the output?
