Comment (by gnwiii@…):

 gnutar @1.28_0 on OS X Mavericks: the child dies if the LANG variable is
 not set, but works with LANG=X.  I discovered this using Cygwin ssh from
 Windows. A workaround is to add a line the in the ssh config file on the
 client to set LANG on the server.


 {{{
 $ gnutar tf tar-1.28.tar.xz |head -2
 tar-1.28/
 tar-1.28/acinclude.m4
 $ unset LANG
 $ gnutar tf tar-1.28.tar.xz |head
 gnutar: Child died with signal 11
 gnutar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
 $ LANG=X gnutar tf tar-1.28.tar.xz |head -2
 tar-1.28/
 tar-1.28/acinclude.m4
 }}}

 The crash report has:
