[BusyBox] dpkg is broken?

Hello,

I've just retrieved the latest CVS today (July 10th) and I seem to be having
problems with the "dpkg" applet.  I built a test package, which installs
successfully with a previous version of the busybox dpkg (retrieved
mid-May).

Now, I get the following messages when trying to install the package:

mikev at beach:~$ dpkg -i test_0.1_i386.deb 
(Reading database...)
dpkg: Invalid gzip magic
dpkg: Couldnt read header
Segmentation fault
mikev at beach:~$


I'm linking against uClibc.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

Thanks,
-mike
