Thunar & Squeeze/Xarchiver RAR Decompression Issue

Trying to decompress ~100 MB RAR archives results in Squeeze 0.2.3 and Xarchiver 0.5.2 (via repos) hanging and freezing the system. Thus is with either the thunar-archive-plugin, or through Thunar UCAs. The same happens with squeeze-0.2.90-svn-r29419 and 7z (from p7zip 4.61) as well. unrar via the CLI and PeaZip 2.5 both handle the decompression of large files gracefully. Anyone else experience the same?

UPDATE: Looks as if the issue is specific to large, passworded RAR archives and Squeeze. Although Squeeze will not hang the system with the same file on the same box under Ubuntu.
