Is it possible that Stuffit tries to unpack every compressed file found
inside the tar file?
the wininst*.exe files are templates for installers. They likely contain
part of the signature of a ZIP file, and Stuffit would handle them

Ok, I was fearing some MacOS X-specific feature à la application bundles.
Thanks for reporting the problem anyway :)

Possible, I do not know and had never seen this before.
Also, I just installed the latest (free) version 13.0.3 (Intel Build
165) of Stuffit Expander and the problem does *not* occur.
But the older Stuffit 11.0.2 (Intel Build 627) still

Another good reason not to install Stuffit or Stuffit Expander. These
days OS X expands the standard open formats (i.e. .gz, .zip, .tar, etc)
all by itself, and there are the standard command line tools as well.

Where does wininst-6.0.1.exe come from? I don't see it on a fresh
checkout (there's only wininst-6.0.exe (without the .1)). Does MacOS X

Indeed, this is Python 3.1b1 built from source on MacOS X 10.4.1 Tiger
(Intel).
MacOS considers some of these win*.exe files directories. See the
attached picture and below.
