long symlink paths may be truncated #72

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
If a tarball contains a long symlink (over 100 chars) in a longpath (over 100 
chars) then the resulting link or path can be truncated to 100 chars.

This is due to a bug where if both 'L' and 'K' entries are found in the tarball,
only the first one takes affect due to get_header_tar recursively calling 
itself.
To fix this, process longname and linkname at the end of the function rather 
than the start after any subcalls have taken place.
