New submission from Eric Andresen:
The tarfile.TarFile.extractall() method is [by default] silently failing
to set directory permissions and times on all but the lexically-latest
directory extracted. This is due to an unintentional re-use of the
'path' variable.
The provided patch renames the second 'path' variable to 'dirpath' which
resolves the problem.
