Version 2.0 bzip2 issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a bzipped SQL file that's 88.5 MB, which when decompressed with The
Unarchiver 1.6.1 comes out to be a 449.8 MB file. When I decompress it with
version 2.0, it stops at 880 KB.

The line that it stops on is rather long, it stops after 895,145
characters. There doesn't appear to be an odd character or anything at this
point, so I assumes it's the size of the line, rather than the content.

It doesn't throw an error or anything, it just acts like it's ecompressing
a much smaller file.

Without the file, there's nothing I can do about it.

Ah. Unfortunately, it isn't a file I can give you, as it has customer 
information and
such in it. Let me know if there's anything else I can give you.

Did you create the file? Can you try to see if you can create another file in 
the same way 
that has the same problem?

I wasn't the creator of the file. I have tried several things to try to 
reproduce the
issue. I created a file with random text that was on the same scale as the 
problem
file, and one that had all the same character. They both worked fine.

It looks like it's an issue with the specific file, or perhaps the specific 
version
of bzip2 the creators used. After decompressing the original file with 1.6.1, I
re-compressed it with a local version of bzip2, and that copy decompressed fine 
with
2.0. So I'm not really sure what the problem is.

Very strange.

Actually, I have one idea what might have caused it. I'll look into that later 
and report 
back if I can reproduce anything.

Incidentally, I don't know if this helps at all, but the part of the file that 
does
get decompressed seems to be exactly one block, as it is exactly 900,000 bytes.

bzip2 has an obscure feature where you can join several bzip2 files together to 
form 
one file. I just confirmed that those files don't work in The Unarchiver, and 
fixed them. 
It seems a lot like this could be a file like that, so I'm going to release 
2.0.1 soon. Test 
in that and tell me if it's fixed.

All fixed! That must have been it. Thanks for the help!
