[Bug-cpio] segfault caused by an extra &

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert]

Hi,

  In copyin.c line 1269 is the code:

      swab_array ((char *) &short_hdr, 13);

I get a segfault shortly after that - I'm fairly sure that & shouldn't
be there - it's byteswapping the pointer rather than the data.

  I've filed an Ubuntu bug against this as well since that is where
I originally found it, but looking at the code it is in the plain
GNU source, there is a binary file attached to this bug that 
triggers the seg:

 Ubuntu bug is here:
