Fix

Problem is that the bzip stream is freed by us.  It appears the bzip library already frees the stream.  This would affect any document compressed as a bzip2 file (I tested with another man page and the double-free did take place).

I've asked for hard-code freeze break to apply the above patch before 2.16 is released.
