[issue14810] Bug in tarfile

[Hans Werner May]

Hans Werner May nc-may...@netcologne.de added the comment:

Out of curiosity: where did you get a file that was last modified in 1956?

No idea, this was a jpeg file, probably downloaded from internet. Btw, on Linux 
you can manipulate the creation date with the touch command, so it is possible 
to create a tarball with a member which has creation date 1956, but it is not 
possible to extract it with the extractall method.
