There was a double-free introduced in the cleanup I did yesterday. It should be fixed in 2.578. (For anyone interested, the as part of the 2.577 cleanup I made compress_bz's behavior consistent with that of compress_gz and archive_tar in that they all "own" their underlying/original io_stream, so when you delete one you delete both. But there was still a place in the ini downloading code where it explicitly deleted both the uncompressed and the compressed io_stream, leading to the crash. I am so not liking all this manual io_stream pointer management, this is crying out for auto_ptr/shared_ptr or something else sane.)
