Unpacking zero-byte files in a TGZ file create 76-90 byte si

[Jo Seegers]

Hi,

When I expand a TGZ file that contains zero bytes files, TC transforms the zero-bytes files into non-zero byte files with sizes between 76 and 90 bytes.
I believe this problem was introduced with release 7.5.

Maybe these were actually links to other files in the TGZ file? Total Commander expands such links by unpacking the linked files, or a name of the linked file in a text file. Can you check what these files contain?

When I browse with TC throught the tgz file, everything works correctly. The files are not a reference but are just 0 bytes. However, I can open the file with lister. It shows some binary data. The problem occurs after copying. The 0-byte indicator is reporting the length of that data. The TGZ file is created by some linux operating system.

Can you send me a small sample file for testing to support at ghisler dot com, please?
