tac: avoid segfault for e.g., "echo > x; tac -r x x"
* src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Move local "regs" declaration out
to file scope, so its values aren't clobbered between calls.
Discovered by Cristian Cadar, Daniel Dunbar and Dawson Engler,
reported in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13501
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/tac.
* tests/misc/tac: New file. Test for the above.
