rzip returns a confusing error message when the user attempts to
compress a directory.  It also leaves behind a small .rz file, on which
runzip will hang.

$ mkdir foo
$ rzip foo
Failed to map buffer in rzip_fd
Fatal error - exiting
$ ls
foo/ foo.rz

bzip2 handles this much more gracefully:

$ bzip2 foo
bzip2: Input file foo is a directory.
