With src/lib/libbz2/decompress.c version 1.6, you introduced a heuristic
to check for corruption, based on vectors growing too large. This
method gave false positives with some files (-current i386). I have
reverted the change.

The problem I have with such a heuristic, is that it seems hard to
be absolutely sure that you're not dealing with huge/strange data
in stead of an error. How would you know?
