[issue13315] tarfile extract fails on OS X system python due to chown of gid=-1

There's little chance that Apple will fix this issue in their build (at least not until Lion+1 gets released) because this is not a security bug. Their breaking of 2.7 in Lion is probably due to lack of review for their collection of patches, and is not something we can fix.

I'd close this as invalid as the issue is already fixed in our codebase.

I won't file a bug at Apple for this, although that shouldn't stop anyone else from doing so (and remember: bugreport.apple.com is a popularity contest, the more people file an report about a bug the more likely it is that it will get fixed)
