Error when extracting TAR error: "An unknown header type was encountered"

Hi,

I’m getting an exception when trying to untar and specific file.

Code:
AbstractFile tarFile = new DiskFile(@”..\..\..\samples\tar_1234.tar”);
var a = new Xceed.Tar.TarredFile(tarFile, @”*”);

Call Stack:
Unhandled Exception: Xceed.FileSystem.FileSystemNotSupportedException: An unknown header type was encountered.
Type: Xceed.FileSystem.DiskFile
FullName: C:\Users\shaul.royzen\Documents\DevPlayground\TarResearch\samples\tar_1234.tar
at Xceed.Tar.TarredFile..ctor(FileSystemEvents events, Object userData, AbstractFile tarFile, String fileName)
at Xceed.Tar.TarredFile..ctor(AbstractFile tarFile, String fileName)
at Xceed.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Users\shaul.royzen\Documents\DevPlayground\TarResearch\XceedNew\Program.cs:line 22

I can send the TAR file on demand.

Can you help?

Thanks,
Shaul.
