Okay, I've moved bzip2-1.0.1-5 into /cygwin/latest/bzip2 and marked it
as a 'test' release.  Shall I send the standard 'test' announcement to
cygwin@  (and then wait for test reports HAH! and then announce on
cygwin-announce).

BTW, note that the dll is UNSTRIPPED -- which explains the 480k size of
the binary tarball.  Michael, I'm not sure if that may be the cause of
your success -- try stripping the dll and 'do your thing'.  I was able
to get 'objdump -p' to work without crashing, even on the stripped dll.
