Summary: fix for bug #812325 (tarfile violates bufsize)

Initial Comment:
The attached patch fixes an error in the code for GNU
longname/longlink creation. An additional GNU header
block is added to the tar file but not summed up to the
internal counter (self.offset). On close() the
zeropadding is miscalculated which leads to blocksize
violation at the end of the archive.
I had a conversation with Johan Fredrik Öhman (johanfo)
who reported bug #812325 and he told me that my patch
solved his problems.

Lars, could you add a test case for this as well?
