That you were not able to reproduce let me look again at it. So I can
reproduce it on an up-to-date Debian unstable (amd64) system, with 
sharutils updated up to 1:4.15.2-3. Valgrind shows:

and actually sh/dash segfaults. Since you were not able to reproduce,
I switched to bash as /bin/sh, and indeed I land were you got:

$ unshar SIGSEGV.PC.80018413.STACK.1dab0c403.CODE.1.ADDR.0xbf7fe258.INSTR.push___%ecx.fuzz
SIGSEGV.PC.80018413.STACK.1dab0c403.CODE.1.ADDR.0xbf7fe258.INSTR.push___%ecx.fuzz:
