When extracting, the time stamps of directories are modified twice: once when creating the directories, and then once in reverse order when done. The first utimes call is redundant; it also causes issues with a buggy NFS server, see http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/3.1/builders/AMD64%20debian%20parallel%203.1/builds/147/steps/test/logs/stdio (specifically, touching a file twice with the same second-resolution time stamp will increase the microsecond counter). The attached patch works around the issue; regardless of the NFS bug, I think that the redundant call should be eliminated.
