Invalid arugment and IO Error with bunzip2

[John Marrett]

Yesterday I installed the most recent version of cygwin. When I attempt
to uncompress bz2 files I get a Invalid Parameter / I/O Error. Tar works
with the j option however. I re-installed the bunzip2 packages from the
server but it didn't resolve the problem. 

Here are a few commands demonstrating the problem:

$ bunzip2 xwinclip-Test06.exe.bz2 

bunzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible reason follows.
bunzip2: Invalid argument
        Input file = xwinclip-Test06.exe.bz2, output file =
xwinclip-Test06.exe
bunzip2: Deleting output file xwinclip-Test06.exe, if it exists. $ tar
cjf test.tar.bz2 GNUstep $ tar tvjf test.tar.bz2 | more

$ bunzip2 test.tar.bz2 

bunzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible reason follows.
bunzip2: Invalid argument
        Input file = test.tar.bz2, output file = test.tar
bunzip2: Deleting output file test.tar, if it exists.

Thanks in advance,
