Subject: 23.0.60; opening tgz file causes emacs crash
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:07:37 +0100

If I open a tgz (tar and gzipped file) in emacs it immediately crashes 
(giving the windows emacs abort dialog)

The file I used to test this was
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/viewmail/vm-8.0.11-581.tgz
but the problem seemed to occur for other tgz files

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:/tmp/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
