Hello.

I've been experiencing a problem with the bzip2_decompressor filter when reading from a stream attached to an incomplete file. Instead of throwing an exception or reaching EOF, the program just hangs.

It just hangs in an infinite loop, instead of throwing an exception or reaching EOF. In the same situation, gzip_decompressor throws an exception... Is there a reason for this not happening in this case, or is this just a bug?

It's a bug. Thanks for reporting it.

Thanks for any help. -- Tiago de Paula Peixoto
