The cause of segfault is endless recursive call of do_compute_dir_size() because of incorrect handling of very long file/directory name. As a result the structure of opened tar archive may contain a directory with an empty name.

Can confirm it doesn't crash any more. There is a caveat though. Path length is 253 bytes and file name 248 bytes which is below 255 max file length for ext3/4 and 4096 max path but it still says: `Cannot create target directory "/root/tmp/test/~xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
File name too long (36)
`
It's not too long actually.
Also, for sake of simplicity, the tar file used as example should be compressed. It wouldn't change the outcome but would decrease attachment 40 times.
