lzma 4.43-14maemo5
Compression method of 7z format in 7-Zip program
LZMA is a compression algorithm, based on the famous Lempel Ziv
compression method.
The main characteristics of the algorithm are very good compression,
fast decompression, use of lot of RAM for compression and low usage of
RAM for decompression.
LZMA provides high compression ratio and very fast decompression, so it
is very suitable for embedded applications. For example, it can be used
for ROM (firmware) compression.
This package provides a command-line gzip-like interface for the lzma program.
Recommendation: When you decompress very large files, close all applications
(if possible reboot) and do not use the device during decompression.
This may reduce the decompression time from several hours to a couple of minutes.

Comments:
Looks fine to me. The package is even nicely optified, even though it didn't have to be. Bug 9353 isn't lzma's problem as it also occurs when large files are written via other means.
