Summary: tarfile.open bug / corrupt data

Initial Comment:
Hi!

I want to create a bz2 compressed tar file.
Here is my code:
full="/home/test/test.sql"
tar = tarfile.open("test.tar.bz2", "w:bz2")
tarinfo = tar.gettarinfo(full,"blubb.sql")
tar.addfile(tarinfo,file(full))
tar.close()

i think this should work, but the sql file is corrupt:
- the created sql file in the compressed tar has only
4745 Lines, the original file has 4753


Regards,
Chris
