Folks,

using newest cygwin
(CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 1.7.10(0.259/5/3) 2012-02-05 12:36 i686 Cygwin)

invoking pbzip2 to unpack a large bz2 archive gives:

pbzip2: *ERROR: fileWriter:  pthread_cond_timedwait() call invalid 
[pret=22].  This machine
          does not have compatible pthreads library.  Aborting.
Terminator thread: premature exit requested - quitting...
pbzip2:  *INFO: Deletion of output file succeeded.

pbzip2 --version:
Parallel BZIP2 v1.1.5 - by: Jeff Gilchrist [http://compression.ca]
[Jul. 16, 2011]               (uses libbzip2 by Julian Seward)
Major contributions: Yavor Nikolov <nikolov.javor+pbzip2@gmail.com>


I guess it needs rebuilding and/or to be updated to the latest version 
(v1.1.6+)

grtz,
H.
