Description:
------------
Trying to install the PEAR installer using the install-pear-nozlib.phar results in a 255 exit code.
No error is displayed on the console and pear is not installed.

I tracked this down to the setAttribute() method in Archive/Tar.php, which uses the reference operator (&) on an internal function (func_get_args).

Test script:
---------------
$ php-7.2.0alpha3/sapi/cli/php ../install-pear-nozlib.phar

Expected result:
----------------
PEAR installer gets installed, printing a bunch of message on stdout ot indicate progress and exiting with 0

Actual result:
--------------
Nothing on stdout/stderr, pear installer is not installed and the commands exits with code 255

Nevermind, I used an old version of the phar archive which bundled Archive_Tar 1.4.0.
This issue has been fixed in Archive_Tar 1.4.3 which is now bundled in the latest version of the installer.
