This seems to be the same bug as has been happening with tar-mode on Windows
since tar-mode was changed to use buffer-swap-text. So the underlying bug is
not platform specific after all. Do you also get crashes when opening tar
files in Emacs?
No, opening a .tar, .tar.gz, or .tgz file works fine here (before
applying Stefan's patch). I also could not reproduce the crash with
your recipe in the 716 thread. So I guess there are still some platform
specific issues.
