Description

Issue originally reported at http://java.net/jira/browse/TRUEZIP-219

1. Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.48.0/boost_1_48_0.tar.gz?use_mirror=autoselect
2. I invoke Files.newDirectoryStream() on a TPath pointing to the resulting .tar.gz file
3. The following exception is thrown:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid byte -1 at offset 7 in '<some bytes>' len=8

Christian Schlichtherle (the TrueZip author) is expecting the Commons Compress to throw IOException instead of IllegalArgumentException. I am expecting no exception to be thrown because as far as I can tell the TAR file is valid (opens up in WinRar and Ubuntu's built-in Archiver).
