Could you send in a copy of the unpacked bytes around the position where it stops? I.e. a couple of lines before and after that position? Note that bzip2 is a block compressor, so, depending on your data, you may have to send enough lines to fill the block size. Does it also stop if you parse only those lines from a bzip2 file, or is it required that the file has at least the current amount of data before those lines? Based on this, could you please do a bit of poking around yourself to figure out if it is a) the byte position, b) the data content or c) the length of the file that induces this behaviour? I assume it's rather unpractical to share the entire file, so you will have to share hints and information instead if you want this resolved.
