I installed burp 1.3.48-4.1 from the Debian Jessie repo and had the same issue described above. Also experienced the issue with 1.3.48 on CentOS.

I opened an issue upstream on GitHub and found out that burp was attempting to compress /var/log/lastlog, which on my system appears to be quite large:

root@localhost:~# ls -l /var/log/lastlog
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 421122400584 Feb 10 23:32 /var/log/lastlog

Excluding this file from the backup results in the expected behaviour:

Therefore this bug can be ignored. Problem was with my configuration, not the package.

Thanks,
Hal
