Re: Stak dump with tar.[bz2/gz] files (Cygwin)

[Angelo Graziosi <angelo.graziosi@alice.it>]

The patch proposed here

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-06/msg00839.html

seems to solve this bug!

(Now, with tar files, there is only the annoying bug #1655)


Many thanks,
       Angelo.
