Subject: 23.0.60; Opening a foo.tar.gz file crashes
Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:11:12 -0700

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.
