When I open a 'tar.gz' file in Emacs, it quite often fails with a
message similar to:
File mode specification error: (error
"ntWorkbookBuilder.SheetRecordCollectingListener.html\"
title=\"class in org.apache.poi.hssf.eventuserm has size
-137265917 - corrupted")
E.g. file at
http://apache.promotionalpro.com/poi/dev/bin/poi-bin-3.5-beta5-20090219.tar.gz
exhibits this error. It can be extracted without problems with 'tar
-xzf ...' at command line, so it must be a bug in Emacs' tar mode.
Maybe it is too strict or doesn't handle some extension properly.

It opens just fine for me. Are you using Emacs-22 rather than the
pretest, by any chance?

No, M-x version reports GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 2.14.4). Just checked, I get the error also with 'emacs -q'.

I cannot reproduce it with "emacs -Q
~/tmp/poi-bin-3.5-beta5-20090219.tar.gz" (on amd64 with Gtk as well).
Other than the "-Q" vs "-q" (i.e. if you have some site-start.el or
default.el that could interfere) I can't think of anything that could
explain the difference.

I tried with 'emacs -Q' and get the same result:
File poi-bin-3.5-beta5-20090219.tar.gz is large (19MB), really open? (y or n)
uncompressing poi-bin-3.5-beta5-20090219.tar.gz...done

The only difference can I see is CPU architecture: you have amd64, but
I have a 32-bit system.

I believe I could now reproduce it, but only if I use url-handler-mode
and download the file directly from Emacs.
I.e. it works fine with
emacs -Q ~/tmp/poi-bin-3.5-beta5-20090219.tar.gz
but shows your problem with
emacs -Q -f url-handler-mode; C-x C-f http://.../poi... RET

In the end you were right, and I have no idea how I managed to get the
above results. url-handler-mode makes no difference, and the 64bit
thingy makes a difference (it somehow hides the bug, so it doesn't
signal an error but instead misinterprets the middle of the tar file,
while the beginning and the end are still just fine, so my cursory check
didn't see the corruption).
I've just installed the patch below, which should fix the problem,

When I open a 'tar.gz' file in Emacs, it quite often fails with a
message similar to:
File mode specification error: (error
"ntWorkbookBuilder.SheetRecordCollectingListener.html\"
title=\"class in org.apache.poi.hssf.eventuserm has size
-137265917 - corrupted")
E.g. file at
http://apache.promotionalpro.com/poi/dev/bin/poi-bin-3.5-beta5-20090219.tar.gz
exhibits this error. It can be extracted without problems with 'tar
-xzf ...' at command line, so it must be a bug in Emacs' tar mode.
Maybe it is too strict or doesn't handle some extension properly.
Paul

Dead on. I normally use an x86_64 emacs and could see no problem; I
rebuilt on i386 and now I see it too.

Not sure if it is possible to reopen a bug, but I have simliar
problems with another tarball:
http://sunet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/hibernate/hibernate-distribution-3.3.2.GA-dist.tar.gz
File hibernate-distribution-3.3.2.GA-dist.tar.gz is large (39MB), really open? (y or n)
uncompressing hibernate-distribution-3.3.2.GA-dist.tar.gz...done
Parsing tar file...
File mode specification error: (error "package org.hibernate.test.collection.idbag;
Note that the original tarball now opens fine, so I do have the bugfix
compiled in. Again, this is on a 32-bit system.
