Error -3 while decompressing data

[Liam Routt]

We've run some more tests, and I feel we are getting much closer to 
working out where the problems lie for us. We're going to run a few more 
tests over the next day before we make the report, as it really feels as 
though we are almost there to working out where the nut lies, which will 
make a better report.

In summary, though, we found out:

* The bazaar server and communication with it is not the issue in itself 
- the problem happens using the filesystem directly (I was wrong on my 
recollection of the tests we'd done).

* It does not fail when running on an roughly equivalent machine with 
32-bit kernel (same distro, OpenSUSE).

* It does not fail when using the 32-bit install over the existing 
64-bit kernel on the original machine (ie, copied the install from the 
second machine to the first machine, and ran chroot-ed, and the test did 
not fail).


This suggests that the kernel isn't the issue, but that the 32-bit 
version does work, where the 64-bit one doesn't work.

We're going to do some more tests to pinpoint what factor is the 
controlling one here. For starters we're going to run the tests on 
another 64-bit install (also OpenSUSE) to make sure it isn't some local 
install problem with this machine somehow. And we'll take it from there.

Take care,
