Bug Description

This very annoying bug occurs with this system :
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

And with this package :
file-roller:
  Installé : 3.6.1.1-0ubuntu1.1
  Candidat : 3.6.1.1-0ubuntu1.1
  Table de version :
 *** 3.6.1.1-0ubuntu1.1 0
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.6.0-0ubuntu3 0

I am trying to extract one tar.gz file inside this zip file http://www.honeywellaidc.com/CatalogDocuments/TotalFreedom_2.0_SDK_Ver_093.zip using nautilus (right click -> unzip here).
First step is working fine, as this file is a zip file and nautilus uses unzip utility to extract files.
But the second step fails when I try to deflate the 59,6MB "TAR FILE FOR LINUX.tar.gz" file previously extracted with unzip.
The problem appears with some files having a size of 0 bytes instead of 2 or 3 MB, so they are no more usable.
When I try to extract this tar.gz file with the command line "tar -xvf", all files are correctly extracted.
So as nautilus uses file-roller instead of tar utility, I think (I can also see it with top) that the problem comes from this package.

I hope this problem will be easily reproducible and so will be easier to fix...

I forgot to explain that some of the files that were not correctly extracted were in the subfolder PluginToolbin/arm-matrix-eabi/bin. On my PC, ar, as, ld, nm have a size of 0 bytes...

Other information, my hard disk (120GB SSD toshiba) has 3GB free left.
