I tried several combinations of wrong input for the other compression 
types after finding the bug and it turned out the others error, which is 
the right way to deal with unexpected input.

That is fine and reasonable. In my opinion any segfault is a bug. It is 
not very likely to happen for end users but during module developing you 
are not too unlikely to hit it. I reported it because I experienced that 
bug for the 2nd time actually.
