> Currently the handling of sparse tar entries works well for the blue-sky case where the archive is not corrupted in any way. But if there are problems like non-numeric values in the wrong places, negative offsets and so on, Compress may throw some hard to understand RuntimeExceptions or fail in other difficult to trace ways.
