I'll 2nd that sentiment.  I have had several occasions where I downloaded 
the bzip2 and had to go back and get the .gz because whole directory trees 
were missing from the unpacked archive.  Once or twice I have pulled the 
bzip2 a 2nd time, same md5sum, but the 2nd time unpacked well enough to 
build.  A 2nd unpack of the first download was still defective.

In short, bzip2 has not been 100% trustworthy here.

Cheers, Gene

Whenever someone tells you to take their advice, you can be pretty sure
that they're not using it.
