| The 'tarfile' object make incorrect header blocks. There's a USTAR 'MAGIC' string that's supposed to be followed by a version; that version is supposed to be two '0' (digit zero -- ascii 48) chars with no NUL padding at all. Python 2.4.3 has it correct. Later versions (e.g., 2.5) are carefully making the field NUL terminated -- but that's wrong; they aren't supposed to be. File History: 'tarfile.py' was correct in version 41340 and incorrect in version 45954 | ||
