Assume a healthy uncompressed tar file: a.tar

When trying to open the tarfile using a fileobject, there is always an
exception:

>>> f_raw = open("a.tar", "rb")
>>> import tarfile
>>> f_tar = tarfile.open(mode="r:", fileobj=f_raw)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/tarfile.py", line 1157, in open
    return func(name, filemode, fileobj)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/tarfile.py", line 1183, in taropen
    return cls(name, mode, fileobj)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/tarfile.py", line 1047, in __init__
    self.name = os.path.abspath(name)
