Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: grp.getgrgid() now calls .decode('utf8', errors="surrogateescape"). Even if cygwin does not correctly copy strings from the Windows registry, tarinfo.gname should now contain a string that will at least round trip and give the same value on disk. Ocean-city, can you check whether this error still reproduces?
