Description

Not sure if this is possible within the bzip2 stream format...

Some applications (e.g. interactive streams, block protocols) need to
periodically force a flush of the compressed data stream so that the other side
can see the data.

I tried to do this by copying code from close(), but I end up with lots of CRC
errors.

Thanks.
