Create a small tar file with 2 or 3 files in it > 2. emacs -q > 3. M-x load-library tar-mode > 4. Open the tar file > You see the crash (with earlier posted stack trace) Confirmed. Curiously enough, if you don't load tar-mode manually, it doesn't crash (which will probably go a long way towards explaining why no one noticed this before). Does anyone see this problem on platforms other than MS-Windows? > I saw another crash with the following steps: > 1. Repeat #1, #2 from the previous scenario > 2. Open the tar file, you will see the file listing > 3. Position the cursor on one of the listed files and hit enter (open the file in the archive) > You see a crash. Stack trace follows for 2nd scenario: It doesn't crash for me with these steps. Maybe here the exact contents of the tarball does matter, at least the file names in it (look at the Lisp backtrace).
