Bugzilla Bug 98802

I recently wanted to compress my webserver log files (which are over 2 GB in 
size). bzip2 1.03-r4 gave me an 

bzip2: Input file access_log.2005-03 is not a normal file.

and refused to compress the file. I downgraded to 1.03 (which I knew was working 
before), and this version works again.

Reproducible: Always

odd considering the only diff is the security chown patch ...

just to verify, could you edit the bzip-1.0.3-r4 patch and remove this line:
    epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.0.2-chmod.patch

and then emerge 1.0.3-r4 again ?

I commented out the epatch and ran emerge --digest bzip2. The resulting binary 
still can't handle files >2GB.

It seems to be related to this part of the ebuild:

  if ! use static ; then
    newbin bzip2-shared bzip2 || die "dobin shared"
  fi


If I put "static" into my USE flags, the resulting binary works. The above also 
seems to be the only major difference (except the patch I've commented out) 
between the two ebuilds.

The shared makefile did not add large file support .. fixed in -r5.
