[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Create a couple small text files- in my case sample1.txt containing:
Here is a sample. Hello!
and sample2.txt containing:
foo bar bat baz
put them in an archive with:
tar -czf sample.tar.gz sample?.txt
Then open a fresh instance of emacs, C-x C-f sample.tar.gz and it crashes.
I don't have gdb installed, but I can give you a link to sample.tar.gz
http://www.driveway.com/r4h5t5i7r1
My other tar.gz archives also crash emacs.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
c:/Program Files/Emacs/Unpatched/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I've checked in a change that does this.
