Summary: tarfile depends on undocumented behaviour

Initial Comment:
CPython currently treats an argument to int() or long()
when base is specified as null-terminated strings, but
this isn't documented AFAIK.

i.e. int('0777\0', 8) works.

tarfile depends on this behaviour, which breaks
IronPython 1.0. Attached patch fixes this.
