What you paste above sounds like there could be a real issue with some
archive formats, which may be a core issue for this archiving tool.

Could you investigate a bit and/or get in touch with upstream to see if
they can provide guidance?

Please expound a bit and write pull sentences, as explained at:

Could you send an updated patch once you know more about the issue
evidenced by the test suite?

Thanks in advance!
