Synopsis: Compressed archive of home directory corrupted

Description:
Description of the crash:
I want to make a back-up of my home directory using nautilus.

I browse to /home then right-click my directory and select to create an
archive. I keep the default name (alexandre.tar.gz) and location (my
home directory). The list of files is gathered, then archiving and
compression take place. I don't get any error message.

When I look at the file, it's 44 MB in size, which is *way* smaller than
what I'd expect. And I can't open it again. I believe I get an error
message about archive being truncated or something similar.

I don't get this problem when I don't compress the "hidden" files and
directories from my home directory. I have done "chmod -R a+r,u+w *" on
my whole home directory, without success. I have yet to find where this
comes from.

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Compress the contents of my home directory from the context menu of
Nautilus
2. Try to reopen archive

Expected Results:
A complete compressed archive of my home directory that I can reopen
later on.

How often does this happen?
This did not happen when I last made a back-up of my home directory,
last week.
