Description Kevin Korb 2015-12-11 00:47:59 UTC 
Upstream discussion is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pbzip2/+bug/1524909
Upstream patch is here:
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pbzip2/pbzip2/bug-1524909-cd-truncates-output-sometimes/diff/46?context=3

Not sure how long it will be before they release a new version.  Setting minor severity because I have a workaround and there will be a new release sometime in the future.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download referenced example file (one created by emerge -b)
2. pbzip2 -cd broken.tar.bz2 > broken.tar
3. tar -tvf broken.tar
Actual Results:  
The tar file gets truncated

Expected Results:  
Should get the same file you get with 'pbzip2 -d broken.tar.bz2'
