[Bug-tar] error "Not found in archive"

When trying to extract a file multiple times I get the misleading error "Not 
found in archive".

Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:

$ touch test
$ tar cvf t.tar test
$ rm -f test
$ tar xf t.tar test test
tar: test: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

The tar file is regularly present and its contents verified. In fact when using

$ tar xf t.tar test

the process completes successfully. I tried also with the --overwrite function 
without luck. The same applies also when using folders. What do you think?
