 Hi,

 the filtering_istream has a severe problem when used with
 bzip2_compressor. This might be related to Ticket #2318.

 The compressed data is withheld, leaving readers of the filtering_istream
 with 0 bytes.

 When a filtering_ostream is used instead, compression works as expected.

 I am going to attach two files, one showing the code which does not work
 for me at all (using filtering_istream), the other which works as expected
 (using filtering_ostream).

 My platform is Ubuntu 8.04 64bit, gcc 4.2.3, using boost version 1.36, and
 bzip2 1.0.4.

 Thanks for your efforts,

 Roland
