There is a bug in LZMA running on amd64. LZMA, an archiver port,
segmentation faults on files > 1-5 GB in size. I've tested this on three
different xeon dual multi-core processor servers. In each case, lzma core
dumps in the exact same spot and the resulting file size for each is exactly
the same. Files less than 1 GB seem to work ok. LZMA seems to work on any
size file without a problem on the FreeBSD i386 platform. When I spoke with
a friend of mine, he says that he compresses 160GB files daily without a
problem, on his i386 systems.
P.S. Here is my machine info..

Thanks for your report! To achieve the best/quickest
possible result, could you also:
1. Try a previous version
2. File your bug report with the 7zip project
3. Get a gdb backtrace out of the coredump
I'm sorry but I don't have time to do it all right
now. I will look into it at the first opportunity,
though.
Thanks!
