Christian Theune added the comment:

Not being an export on tar at all, but I tried getting anything working without 
tell() and seek() but couldn't.

The code reads as if its supposed to support some tar formats that do not 
require seeking, but that would be rather hard to predict on a file-by-file 
basis, I guess.
