[issue24514] tarfile fails to extract archive (handled fine by gnu tar and bsdtar)

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat added the comment:

The patch is very simple, but this needs tests. At the very least, a simple tar file which reproduces this issue could be added to the tests.

Taking this a step further would be writing some unit tests for the internal nti() and itn() functions, and perhaps also stn() and nts().
