Ideally we'd hash the file contents, but that's going to be too slow to
do on every startup.  Checking the expected size is a good compromise.
It's a fast sanity check that should catch the most common problems.

I think your patch resolves the specific issue. However, is there a case

where testing -f might not be enough? Should we make sure the size is 
the same just in case a extraction was interrupted?

Best regards,
