Broken snapshot archives

Hello!

Some recent GHC snapshot files seem to be broken.
For example with
    http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/dist/ghc-6.5.20060927-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2
I get:
    $ tar jxf ghc-6.5.20060927-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2

    bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
    perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
    bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
    Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

    It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become
    corrupted.
    You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such
    files.

    You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to
    recover
    data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

    tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
    tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
    tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Best regards
Tomasz
