tar file contents reported incorrectly (extra PaxHeaders.### folders)
A free file archiver for extremely high compression

7-zip reports some tar files as having additional 'corrupt' files in them, often located in extra folders named 'PaxHeaders.###' where ### is some number.
For an example see:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eric-ide/files/eric5/stable/5.4.3/eric5-5.4.3.tar.gz/download
There 7-zip reports folder 'eric5-5.4.3\PaxHeaders.953', but when using Python3 tarfile support these folders do not get listed.
To test use the following:
import tarfile
tarfile.open("eric5-5.4.3.tar.gz").list()
(or you can pass it just "eric5-5.4.3.tar" - it supports both .tar & .tar.gz archives and gives the same results)
Tested using:
Hope this helps.
