Bug Description
This happens on a specific file (not in general of course).
# pbzip2 -p6 -dc data.bz2 > /dev/null
pbzip2: *ERROR during BZ2_bzDecompress - failure exit code: ret=-4; block=82551; seq=-1; isLastInSeq=1; avail_in=0

It can be unpacked with bzip2. Tested with pbzip2 1.1.12 and 1.1.13, on two separate machines.

I am also experiencing this bug. I am also resorting to bzip2 to decompress my fairly large file. In my case it was while piping the file through pv, pbzip2 -d, and into a block device. It happened twice on different blocks.
