[issue39062] ValueError in TarFile.getmembers

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

jvoisin, what do you consider to be the bug?  Raising an exception  is exactly the right thing to do on bad input.  I leave it to others to decide if this should be closed as 'not a bug' or if the internal exception should be caught and replaced.  We don't pretend to document all possible exception from all functions.

The more important aim of fuzzing is to find inputs that cause no-exception crashes.
