Comment:

 Is this a valid test/error?

 bzip2 reports that hello.bz2 is corrupt.

 > bzip2 -tvvv hello.bz2
   hello.bz2:
     [1: huff+mtf rt+rld {0x13cbede3, 0x13cbede3}]file ends unexpectedly

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

 It works fine once recovered.

 But then this isnt a Boost issue.
