That seems indeed weird. Do you use avfs via fuse or as a regular
library? Both methods don't use any hacks. Maybe you mean the preload
method by transparently redirecting the file system calls to AVFS, but
I'm not sure if this actually still works.

Problem could also be the specific options used to extract a single file
from a rar archive. You can see them in the file "modules/urar.c"
in function "get_rar_file". Basically rar is called like this:

rar p -c- -ierr <archive> <file to extract>

You can check if this also works when running rar separately.

Best Regards,

Ralf
