#23 bz2 compression from command line fails with "sequence error

[Wojciech Kocjan]

Trying to compress and decompress attached 32kB of data using the following command fails:

bz2 -mode decompress -- [bz2 -mode compress -- [fileutil::cat -translation binary bz2failure]]

The decompressor throws "sequence error". I found a similar bug fixed in 1999 in the changelog - http://www.oche.de/~akupries/soft/trf/trf_changelog.html. Perhaps it is the same, but that was for channels, not direct compression?

Happens on ActiveTcl 8.5.7.0 on Ubuntu 9.04, Linux x86.
