Bug in tarfile:

In extractall, when a file exists in tarball with changetime older than (I don't know, in my case it was year 1956) tarfile raises an Overflow exception:

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/tarfile.py", line 2298, in utime
    os.utime(targetpath, (tarinfo.mtime, tarinfo.mtime))
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

System: Mageia 1.0
Python version: 2.7.1
