Patrick Gerken <patrick.ger...@computer.org> added the comment: doh, I only searched for open bugs. Not for closed. This ticket is a dublicate of http://bugs.python.org/issue1471427 and fixed in python 2.5. If somebody has similar problems, here is a quickfix: I finally was able to reproduce the issue. It only happens when the path without the filename but the trailing slash is exactly 100 chars long. Then, because of the trailing slash, tarfile makes this thing a directory, and if the file itself was not empty, the next read cannot be parsed as a tar file. Since I am bound to 2.4 I will rename the directories.
