Subject: bug#3410: tar mode fails to open many valid files
Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 17:05:14 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200905281705.14463.p.pogonyshev@anakreon.net> (raw)

When I open a 'tar.gz' file in Emacs, it quite often fails with a
message similar to:

    File mode specification error: (error
    "ntWorkbookBuilder.SheetRecordCollectingListener.html\"
    title=\"class in org.apache.poi.hssf.eventuserm has size
    -137265917 - corrupted")

E.g. file at

    http://apache.promotionalpro.com/poi/dev/bin/poi-bin-3.5-beta5-20090219.tar.gz

exhibits this error.  It can be extracted without problems with 'tar
-xzf ...' at command line, so it must be a bug in Emacs' tar mode.
Maybe it is too strict or doesn't handle some extension properly.

Paul
