     <function>bzdecompress</function> decompresses the
     <parameter>source</parameter> string containing bzip2 encoded
     data and returns it.  If the optional parameter
     <parameter>small</parameter> is &true;, an alternative
     decompression algorithm will be used which uses less memory (the
     maximum memory requirement drops to around 2300K) but works at
     roughly half the speed.  See the <ulink url="&url.bzip2;">bzip2
     documentation</ulink> for more information about this feature.
