[tor-commits] [stem/master] Checking if a file's a tarball could fail due to permissions



commit e69cb95f93d6646e809bf0143ff595dae32a2b5e

    Checking if a file's a tarball could fail due to permissions
    
    I encountered a transient IOError from the tarfile.is_tarfile() call. I'm still
    not sure why it complained about '/vmlinuz.old' (and the test actually still
    passed), but it's inappropriate for the reader to raise an IOError there.
    Falling back to mime type.
