I have tried to create an archive of my own to reproduce the problem. I think I have succeeded.

Check the included archive, which contains:
- 10 folders containing 10 (empty) text files
- a zip archive containing a single file filled with some data gleaned from /dev/random

observation:
- trying to inspect the contents with file-roller causes file-roller to crash
- extracting the file extracts only the contents of the zip archive (compare: extraction from the CLI with rar e)

more observations:
- I had to compress from the command line (with the rar utility) as nautilus consistently crashes if I try to compress through the context menu ("compress")
- the issue appears to match this report on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/1btxk69/nautilus_crashing_when_selecting_multiple_files/
