I know for sure where the crash occures but I need some more info
because I can't reproduce it on my machine and I can't understand the
why it happens:

1. Do you have a file which name starts with 'apache' in
/etc/setup/ - if yes please attach in your response.

2. Are you willing to run a setup.exe provided by me ? I'll include
some debugging messages so we can know what exactly happens.

For setup.exe developers:

 The crash is in compress_gz::destroy - the place where 'original' is
 deleted. I suppose this happens when the object used to read the /etc/setup/apache*.lst.gz
 is destroyed or something :) Are there any other places where
 compress_gz is used ? I don't recall other .gz files except those in
 /etc/setup.
