[New-bugs-announce] [issue7357] tarfile doesn't detect disk full error on extraction

[Eli Venter]

New submission from Eli Venter <eventer at jcvi.org>:

tarfile doesn't seem to return any error or raise any exception when an
extraction fills up the disk, making it hard to use safely. Both
extractall and extract suffer from this problem. I'm using CentOS 5.2
and python 2.6.2.
