It happens with all tarball I tried (someone created in 2003!). 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.
