Yes, this worked for me for many months, for many other compressed files. This
is the first time I saw segfault.

Hm. "Too many swap files"?. Strange.

I tried re-run it in other directory and it worked, however,

-8<-
$ ls -lah
total 4.0K
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root    0 1970-01-01 03:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4.0K 2009-08-30 18:29 ..

This directory is not user-writeable, maybe that's the reason.

Yes. Vim displayed uncompressed content.

This is what I got:

-8<-
