Stefan Bodewig commented on SANDBOX-285:
----------------------------------------
The reason for this is the Ant heritance, in Ant it is the <bunzip> task that
reads the first two bytes and validates they are "B" and "z" before handing the
rest off to the BZip-Stream.
I don't reaclly why it has been implemented that way, but it is certainly too
late to change it in Ant - will fix commons-compress.

> Commons-compress fails to read bzip2 files created with the bzip2 unix
> cmdline tool because it incorrectly checks for 'h' as first char in stream,
> the magic number according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bzip2 is 'BZh'.
