>Description:
On pentium 100 with intel board on chipset 430FX bzip behaves like this:
On compressing/decompressing if file is larger (eg couple MB) bzip2 dosent compress/decompress files it gives 0-150k output and then countinusly uses swap witchout any action
top says something like that:
1298 root -20 0 7664K 1644K swread 0:10  1.17% 1.17% bzip2
swap usage changes from 0 to 1MB, bzip2 changes size of resurces (+/- 300k) and cpu utilization but it doesnt produce any more output. It not return any errors nor kill its process.
Smaler outpus compress/decompress  corectly
>How-To-Repeat:
compress decompress something larger (MB)
eg.
buzip2 perl-5.6.1_13.tbz
OR
pkg_add perl-5.6.1_13.tbz
