Bugs corrected in version 3.70 beta 5

• when unpacking TAR archives, WinRAR 3.70 beta versions truncated unpacked names by one character if length of unpacked file name was 100 characters or more;
• WinRAR 3.70 beta versions could fail to properly unpack RAR volumes if number of volumes exceeded 100 and volumes used the old style naming scheme.
