Thanks for checking so far.  Next would be test 38.  One way
to investigate that would be to put the following shell script
into a file "test-scarce", and then running the shell command
"truss -f -o tr sh test-scarce".  Please arrange to have
the two "tar" invocations be the most-recent "tar"
that you built.

tar-1.26-experimental$ mkdir stest
tar-1.26-experimental$ cd stest
stest$ vi test-scarce              # added PATH=../src:$PATH as line #2
stest$ chmod +x  test-scarce
stest$ PATH=../src:$PATH
stest$ tar --version
