New submission from Manuke:

When I will make a GNU tar-file with 'tarfile', @LongLink may not be made 
though the name of the archived-file is long, if the name uses non-ascii 
characters.

In tarfile.py, the check code of the filename length is described as follows 
now:

tarfile.py: 1032
<         if len(info["name"]) > LENGTH_NAME:

But, the type of the value is 'str', it is not encoded.
It must be described as follows:

>         if len(info["name"].encode(encoding, errors)) > LENGTH_NAME:

There seems to be the same problem in Line 1029(and the other functions for 
other formats), but I have not confirmed.
