Is it still reproducible for you?  I've tried to reproduce it and
haven't had any luck.  I get messages about not being able to create the
tempfile and then I'm presented with the uncompressed file, but no
crash.

I tried in a setup where there was no /tmp, $TMPDIR and $HOME were
unset, and '.' wasn't writable by the user.  Aside from being unable to
display the uncompressed text, it worked fine.
