was returning a handle to the file inside the tar reader, but returning from a function with adefer.Close()
set. That caused the tar or tgz file to close before or while reading, leading to the error:We didn't catch it before because it was intermittent. The whole CSV manifest to be read is ~56KB. That meant that the caller could actually read the file before the closing function (and underlying OS) might have read it. Hence, sometimes it worked, and we got (un)lucky when testing it earlier that it worked.
This fixes it by reading the whole small manifest into memory before returning.
