In the extract_archive function, the pipe with tar and zenity on system without zenity will create a race condition: the script will reach line 527 before tar has done anything on the file system, then will fail to detect anything in $EXTRACT_TMP. This race condition did happen each time I tested it on my system.

Cannot reproduce, seems fixed.

Nothing extracted yet.
