Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Running Emacs with -Q and -q and executing the following code:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
'("\\.\\(arc\\|zip\\|tar\\|gz\\|lzh\\|zoo\\)\\'" . archive-mode))
gives the following error when I try to load a *.tar or *.tar.gz file:
File mode specification error: (error "Buffer format not recognized")
It works fine loading *.zip files however.
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
d:/Program Files/emacs-22.2/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Archive mode is not supposed to handle those formats. gz is handled by
jka-compr, which is enabled by default, and tar is handled by tar-mode,
also enabled by default. archive-mode is enabled by default for .arc,
.zip, .lzh and .zoo files as well as other formats, so removing that
line from your .emacs should make things work as desired.

I don't see a need to keep open this particular report, which was marked
"wontfix" some time ago.
