I have to apologize. It turns out that I was working with a symlink to a 
file in a shared directory, and another user had bunzipped those files, 
keeping the same name (to start with, the compressed files didn't have a 
.bz2 suffix - don't ask me why). The copy in my laptop was made before 
that happened, so there all was fine. Cherry on the cake: recently I was 
viewing the files with bzless instead of bzcat - which, I've now 
realized, behaves like less if the file is plain text.

Well, that's embarassing (and somewhat irritating, as I've spent a bunch 
of hours trying to figure out what was going on).

Thanks for trying to help. I'll do my best to avoid posting noise again.
