Bug confirmed:
Root cause is crash in directdecompress function due to calling ferror(stream) on NULL stream.

Affected scenarios:
 - read-only target directory
 - ones which call directdecompress (i.e. - single-thread execution: very small files, or -p1 parameter used (or single CPU with default options)

Current workaround: use stream redirection or pipes (-c option): directdecompress is not used in these scenarios. (Or just avoid read-only target directories if possible)
