When I discovered this casually, I created a simple test case: a tarball with only an hello.c file. If the tarball is a 'tar' only (no compressed, i.e. hello.tar) then [1] emacs -Q& C-x C-f hello.tar RET works, but closing it (i.e. clicking the 'x') and retyping C-x C-f hello.tar RET causes Emacs to abort as described (and this with several tar files). If the tarball is compressed (bz2/gz), Emacs crashes immediately (after "Parsing... done)"). Cheers, Angelo. --- [1] Also: "emacs -Q -nw" gives the same results.
