Jeff, it looks much better now. However, I noticed yet another denial of service
in pbzip2:

When specifying a number of processors on commandline by -p<number>, pbzip2
allows an user to specify -p0, what tells pbzip2 to use no processor. This leads
to hang of pbzip2 and no file is compressed. Maybe this should be fixed in the
next pbzip2 release.

It's ok with me to include this release of pbzip2 into Extras as it makes life of 
many people easier ;)
