Jason's last day at Red Hat was last Wednesday, so if he hasn't
incorporated these patches (and I don't remember hearing that he
had) they're not in.  Would you mind sending email to "kingdon AT redhat DOT com"
instead?  He's the new webmaster, apparently (things are kind of
in flux).

I have no problems with bzip2 either but I haven't seen DJ weigh in
on this one.  He had some opinions about this, IIRC.
