[Bug-tar] GNU tar 1.13.25 does'nt handle file names containing ascii characters BEL and VT correctly

[Helmut Waitzmann]

tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 doesn't interprete the names of archive members,
listed with the '--list' option, in an consistently manner, when given
via the '--files-from' option, i.e., for example,

tar -c -f - . | \
tar -f - -t | \
tar -c -f /dev/null --files-from=- --no-recursion

will fail, if there are files, which names contain ascii BEL or VT, in
the current directory.

To reproduce that failure, run the appended two scripts in an EMPTY
directory and note the error message, which is generated by the last call
to tar in the script "test":

   mkdir some_dir
   cd some_dir
   /path/to/script/setup
   /path/to/script/test
