Hi,

found the culprit and a workaround: when using filtering_ostream instead 
of filtering_istream, it works as expected.

See also http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2318, originally 
reported by guy_tannenbaum. It shows very weird behavior for 
zlib_compressor under rare circumstances. I found that it also can be 
worked around by using filtering_ostream instead of filtering_istream.

I am going to file a ticket for the bzip2 problem, too, since it seems 
to be easier to reproduce (at least on my machine :-)).

Regards,

Roland
