Sebb commented on COMPRESS-113:
-------------------------------
The code will work OK for valid input, but an invalid file could have 12 octal
digits.
Possible solutions:
- ignore the trailing byte when converting
- change the parsing routine to insist on a trailing space or NUL for all
numeric fields.
> TarArchiveEntry.parseTarHeader() includes the trailing space/NUL when parsing
> the octal size

> TarArchiveEntry.parseTarHeader() includes the trailing space/NUL when parsing
> the octal size.
> Although the size field in the header is 12 bytes, the last byte is supposed
> to be space or NUL - i.e. only 11 octal digits are allowed for the size.
