 Hi.
 This is a re-report of a problem posted to boost-users in 2005,
 http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2005/10/14361.php


 I have attached the sample program from that post.

 To reproduce:

 {{{

 echo -e "Hello world\n" | bzip2 > hello-complete.bz2
 dd if=hello-complete.bz2 of=hello.bz2 bs=1 count=53
 ./hello
 }}}

 The program never terminates.

 This behaviour is exhibited with both gcc 4.3 and VC8 using latest boost
 release.

 TIA.
