Comment:

 I've never seen anything like that before. It works fine for me:

 {{{
 $ echo hello > Astro.txt
 $ ls -l Astro.txt*
 -rw-r--r--  1 rschmidt  wheel  6 Sep 11 16:48 Astro.txt
 $ bzip2 Astro.txt
 $ ls -l Astro.txt*
 -rw-r--r--  1 rschmidt  wheel  42 Sep 11 16:48 Astro.txt.bz2
 $ bunzip2 Astro.txt.bz2
 $ ls -l Astro.txt*
 -rw-r--r--  1 rschmidt  wheel  6 Sep 11 16:48 Astro.txt
 $
 }}}
 Sounds like a misconfiguration of some sort on your system. Maybe an alias
 or function overriding MacPorts bzip2.

 What do you get when you run:

 {{{
 type bzip2
 type bunzip2
 bzip2 --version
 bunzip2 --version
 }}}
