Hmm... it seems that I can reproduce the crash in Linux by running the
grabber from a directory for which I do not have write permission (eg, /).
This is at least comforting because it makes it easier for me to debug and
test the problem in pack_fopen_chunk.

The problem is that it does not seem to specify the directory that it will
be placed in, returning EACCES if the directory it tries to use is not
writable.

I hadn't seen that one yet. Now my brain has exploded and I need to
reassemble it before I can continue. These guys never try to do things the
easy way, do they?

That one at least seems to be sane.
