[issue15858] tarfile missing entries due to omitted uid/gid fields

[Tom Lynn]

Tom Lynn added the comment:

The secondary issue, which the patch doesn't address, is that TarFile.next() seems unpythonic; it treats any {Invalid,Empty,Truncated}HeaderError after offset 0 as EOF rather than propagating the exception.  It looks deliberate, but I'm not sure why it would be done like that or if it should be changed.
