Yes.  The problem is that the CVS tarball being supplied by SF is
corrupted.  I have been getting this error from my cron job for about
2 weeks:

bunzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
bunzip2: Undefined error: 0
Input file = boost-cvsroot.tar.bz2, output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to *attempt* to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/home/dave/bin/mirror_boost_cvs.py", line 23, in ?
    system('/usr/local/bin/bash -c "/usr/local/bin/bunzip2 boost-cvsroot.tar.bz2 --stdout | /usr/bin/tar -xf- -Cboost-cvs 2>| head > /dev/null"')
  File "/usr/home/dave/bin/mirror_boost_cvs.py", line 17, in system
    raise SystemError, "could not complete system command: " + repr(cmd)
SystemError: could not complete system command: '/usr/local/bin/bash -c "/usr/local/bin/bunzip2 boost-cvsroot.tar.bz2 --stdout | /usr/bin/tar -xf- -Cboost-cvs 2>| head > /dev/null"'

I was sure I had submitted a SF support request, but I can't find it,
so I'll do it again.  Here:
